Re: [APD] Cryptocoryne spiralis

Hi Ed,

 I just purchased several Cryptocoryne spirals on "Aqua-bid.com" The seller 
is snhchambers at yahoo_com . Her name is Heather and she is in Texas, USA. She 
already told me she had more plants available. I only needed a few for my 
main planted tank. Good luck...

Thanks,
 Tom Cunningham
