never
www.tropica.de has as far as i can see nothing to do with www.tropica.dk and
www.tropica.com
The .de page is about plants for your living room, and not aquariumplants :)
So you did mean that it was illegal for pet shops in USA to import tropica
plants, and not that tropica did import illegal plants, right ?
It does not matter to me if you can buy Tropica plants in USA or not, i live
about 250 KM south of tropicas factory in the same Country, Denmark. So i
can get all the Tropica plants i want.
But off course i thing everyone should have access to those top quality
plants.
Therefore i will off course gladly help you somehow to make it possible for
you to import. Just post here about it and i am in.
With many Thanks
