    Hey guys so I know the LFS sell various aquatic plants but at a fair premium, I note that occasionally there are plant cutting and excessive plants given or even sold at a lower rate here on this forum. I am based in the Alrode Area for work and Observatory home would really like to buy some cost effective plants to try in my cichlid tank.

    I have been told that anubias and java moss / fern will root to rocks which I think will make it a little more difficult for my Blood Red Parrots to move or pull up. I will try get the plants to first root to the rock or log before introducing to the main tank.

    anyone please

    I am willing to buy but I think being a noob to spend top dollar on something I may not grow well is a difficult pill to swollow

    try betterweather.co.za. but I am sure someone will come along sooner or later with those plants. Not difficult to grow at all.

    the way I see it I am trying to get another tank solely for a Paludarium / Aquascape so if the Malawis start eating at the plants I then move them out and do a dedicated planted tank
