Tom Misiak asked about mail order suggestions. I purchased the plants for my aquarium from The Aquatic Greenhouse and was very happy with the quality of the plants and service. Perhaps the biggest advantages are that they answer the phone and email promptly and ship on schedule. They have a web site at http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/DarinGasperson/newaquat.htm. Their number is 1-800-447-3154. Don
