Hi all!
I'm really looking for help. I'm embarrassed to admit that until now I've
usually kept only plastic, Nothing day-glo, I promise ;-) , though the rest
of my house looks like a greenhouse. I've always admired heavily planted
tanks and I'm ready to take that step. But I'm frustrated by stores that
mislabel plants and often don't have any info on long-term requirements.
And then the number of terrestrial plants that are sold as aquatic!! ;-(
I could really use some pointers!
* Does anyone have recommendations on aquatic plant magazines or books?
(I haven't been able to find anything locally that was both thorough and
current)
* In particular I'm looking for info on plants that do well at higher
temps (84=B0 - discus tank)
* And lastly- any suggestions on plant suppliers? Insight on mail order?
(I'm a little hesitant to purchase anything that I can't inspect before
buying) Reputable dealers?
Thanks so much for any help you could offer!
Bob
