    Hi, I went to my lps looking for a new plant ,and to my surprise most of the plants were Terrarium plants.:rant:
    Only 2 of the 5 plant species they had were aquarium plants.

    So if you buy a plant it will most probably not be a aquarium plant ?.:weird:

    That is just plain inexperience if you ask me. LFS selling non aquatics is deliberate

    @EnvironmentalBro - Go to your local nursery - you will find the plants you are looking for.

    @EnvironmentalBro - chances are it is the weather. Some nurseries also only sell seasonal stuff. Its sad tho. I would try to order the plants from one of them.
