Hi There,
firstly to explain.
some of you may have noticed that i have 4 amazon swords in my rekord 60. see pic below.
these plants are usually pretty tall, around the 1 foot mark minimum. over a year with carefull pruning i have managed to bonsai them. basically the plant thinks it's fully grown. new leaves only grow to the surface and are much narrower than the original plant should be. they give the impression the tank is much bigger than it actually is.
here is the same plant in my 40G see the difference (centre rear)
they will only grow this well (without browning leaves etc..) with added laterite / eco complete etc.. and co2 fertalisation.
now getting to the point
i have a few amazon sword plantlets spare probably 3 or 4 growing in my cube tank on a flower stalk. these are perfect to plant in a shallow planted tank right now. they are only about 6 inches tall and will mature to the tank size if pruned correctly.
if there is anyone with a simillar tank to mine (must have suitable substrate) who would like to grow these plants please reply here and i'll pass them on. i cant use them and they are destined for the dustbin.
please no time wasters. i really want to give them to some one with a suitable tank. they are too small to go in a 40G etc and will probably die before they get going as the light will be too far away.
First come first served. if i get a few suitable tank owners i may send one each. dont PM me about this yet, we dont want any que jumping!!!
so ladies and gentlemen, let the squabble commence.

and I'm not sure I want them in my final layout for the tank.
. I have moved some strands into another tank and it has started growing again.
