    Re: where it all began...

    Hi fellows, is this "Teo's farm" one of the larger "distro" of freshwater plants in Singapore? Are they able to order plants for you if they have no ready stock available?

    @Shadow: does your book have English scientific & common names for the plants? I have another book that's from Oriental Aquarium, but compared to your copy (assuming it's the 《全新水草600種圖鑑》), my copy is a lot thinner.

    oriental book is out of date. This book was translated from Japanese book. The original book probably reach more than 700+ plants already. There is scientific name and Chinese name.

    So did I point out the right book? i.e.*《全新水草600種圖鑑》?

    No version that is equally comprehensive but has English common names as well?

    @felix, which edition can Kino bring in for me? $39.50 for a well-illustrated book, is quite reasonable. I should be getting a copy.

    Re: where it all began...


    I have this one, but would have preferred actual print. (i printed and binded it)
    The amount of detail no longer there in a scan


    The Aquarium Plant Handbook
    New from Oriental Aquarium, this 185-page full color book is more than double the size of Oriental's two previous "catalogue" books, features new photographs and text descriptions of most aquarium plants, and an introduction by Takashi Amano. A great value for a reference book!

    Re: where it all began...

    For now, the Oriental book seems to be the de-facto book that everyone refers to when ordering plants, until something else better and more updated becomes available.

    Both c328 and y618 use the oriental book to order plants. C328 takes plants order from several suppliers thou while y618 gets from oritental mainly on a daily basis. As i hve the book, ill just suow uncle the code when lever i want to order plants. Keep in mind that the oritental book shows limited plant variety.

    Actually they dont get the plants from oriental. They just make use of the book. From what i know oriental does not supply locally.
