Good god, Hal what are you doing to your fish that's causing them to die 
off? Have you cycled your tank before adding fish? Patience is required. 
When I set up a new tank, I let it run for 48hrs, then add "Cycle" (a 
product containing Nitrifying Bacteria only) to it and run for a couple 
days more. Then throw in some goldfish and if they make 2 weeks, then 
consider adding plants. Once plants are in for another two weeks then 
start considering what fish to put in. I also add no more than 20% of 
the tanks maximum load every 24 hours. This lets the filters bioload 
adjust. You can't go wrong with that formula.

As for selling, it's not me! I'm not selling! I'm looking for trade. 
Kevin Sheller is the originator of this thread and he is doing the 
selling. My local temperatures have finally started staying above the 
freezing point and I wouldn't have considered shipping plants until 
then.<http://www.theweathernetwork.com/Weather/Cities/Can/Pages/CAON0536.htm> 
I've also never shipped plants before. I've seen posted you just put 
them in ziplocks with a bit of water and the air removed? Is that right?


Kevin? Some pics? That will stimulate some sales I'm certain.

- Chris.
