Wanted: floating plants

Hi all. need some floating plants as well to keep my future endlers happy. If anyone knows where i can get some in the jhb pta area I will be most grateful.

 

What kind of floating plants are you looking for?Hornwort,duckweed etc..?

 

The LFS in Primrose Hill has some nice Indian Fern.

 

@Courtney99: hornwort or indian fern... definitely not duckweed...

 

Folks, please exercise caution here... almost all of the floating plants are bl (and with very good reason too - they are scariously invasive).

And now I'm just too curious not to ask... why do you want them for the endlers? My endlers are perfectly happy without - but then, there are stacks of other plants in their aquarium. Just found some more babies whilst doing a wc! They are really pretty little fish - someone commented on mine t'other day - "Wow, they're MUCH prettier than those neon-thingies"! Enjoy them!

 

@tracyp: oops dont want to get in trouble. if you say endlers are happy without then i am happy to not look for them. just read that they want floating plants. but dont want an infestation....

 

Don't sweat it - just making sure everyone is kept informed!

Well, mine are perfectly happy - you decide! Will there be other plants in the nano?

 

@tracyp: I have some plants in there already. not nearly enough tgough. all the lfs have no stock. so tried to order some from shrimps.co.za but cant seem to check out my goods. planning lots of plantsin there.

 

Well in that case, you (and your endlers) should be just fine! hmm, well, if you know what you're looking for plantswise, beg! Lots of folks here should be able to help with a cutting or two... I've collected all my wishlist plants by networking - its honestly the easiest way to get the nice stuff.

 

@Zebra Plecostomus ill bring u some plant cuttings with the baby's i have lots of nice stuff some rotala colourata(spelling?) , penny wort and one that im not quite sure what its called its like a rotala but with longer sharper leaves my endlers love it as well as some "plamtrees" keep forgetting what they are called got them from dory's oh not sure if pennywort is bl? any ways ill send u a photo of what ive got some time over the weekend if thats ok

 

@manicmonkey: that sounds awesome! would really appreciate it!!! thank you very much!

 

Endler fry love hiding in the floating plants. I can also help with some cuttings should you need more
