I had a little trouble locating some of my items, like the root tabs. Took a search rather than going through menus.

Top Critical Review

“Awful plants, awful customer service, terrible business.”

Jim A.
5/12/20

Plants came diseased with planaria and hydra, not to mention string algae. Awful customer service, none of them know what they're doing in the least. Always say you should expect some dead plants and pest's on your plants and its your bad for not expecting it. Terrible business should die out before to long but wanted to let buyers beware.

The size of the plants and portions were much larger than I expected, and it has filled up my tank plenty! In the time since I've gotten the hornwort they have grown very fast and very tall. My goldies love eating the frogbit, at first I thought I ordered too much but they really went to town on it and devoured most of it, they might be sick of it now because it seems they've left it alone.

I did get the tiniest of hitchhikers, I only saw it once but a super baby snail. I'm not sure it survived against the goodies but I really really hope so because I would love a free snail!

Don't forget, the hornwort sheds a bunch so frwquent vacuuming is important!

10/10 would buy again

Reason I chose this business:

The reviews were good!

Reason I chose this product:

They must include in the description of the products the size of the plants. I ended up receiving a plant that was double the size of my aquarium 😀 anyway I put it inside and my fish seemed to like the jungle inside. They were having so much fun swimming around.

Plants were great but there were 4 very tiny fish that came along with them and somehow managed to survive the trip.

Reason I chose this business:

Great looking plants. The roots were over grown in 2 inch netpot so removal without damage was impossible. They are looking yell and stressed after getting out of pots.

The plants are so nice and in good shape when they got here. I was a little concerned because they came on a day that it was 9° outside. But they weren't frozen at all.
I wish there were more planting specifications in the descriptions.

My plants came fast, and all intact. There were a few snails on them, but they were easy to pick out. About a week in, and none of them have melted, died, or had any issues at all. They look great in my tank! No signs of snails in my tank.

Reason I chose this business:

Prices, availability

Reason I chose this product:

Thought Brazilian Pennywort would look good in my gourami tank. They love it!

I found everything I wanted. Ordered on Sunday and received by Thursday. Plants were in perfect condition.

Shipping was too expensive on other sites. Since I am in Florida this place seemed reasonable to order from. I hope for beautiful plants.

I didnt realize that orders shipped on specific days, so it put my project for my Betta's tank on hold, but not a big deal! I was more concerned with weather and the plants arriving safely as we were hitting the upper 80's in the northern adirondacks! So glad i got the ice pack for my plants. They were nice and cool when they arrived and i received more red roots than i actuality needed, so now im saving them for another take project. Plants are super healthy and i only found 1 snail which now lives in my daughter's mini paludarium tank she set up for it lol

Reason I chose this business:

Pricing and mostly positive reviews

Reason I chose this product:

For a betta tank project i started to go filterless.

Great shape, nice color. A little yellowing on the Anubis but I'll contribute that to submerse acclimating. It sucks waiting 3-4 days but that's because I'm impatient. They do a great job

Reason I chose this business:

I've used them before. They're close to my location, less travel time for plants.

Reason I chose this product:

I own Discus, I don't use imitation plants. Live plants are great for your aquarium fish. I do disinfect the plants with Protect X. Purchased a Myrtle Beach Discus. It will not kill snails but it does an awesome job with bacterias and fungi.
