Hi gchoo,

Yes, Pet Safari do sell them, but I think you have to approach Joey, their young boss. He is the one who can decide to trim from his display tanks. Others may not be able to decide.

How is the Flame Back Bleeding Hearts? Any problem keeping them with other fishes (cardinals)?

Thanks.

Thanks Alan,

I'll call them to ask if they have any... My Flame back
Ok with other cardinals... Have you gotten yours from Gan?

[Alan Koh]

Hi Gchoo,

Yes, manage to get 6 from Gan about 2 weeks back. If you need help to get Xue Hua from Pet Safari, just SMS me, I am able to contact their young boss. I would like to share my cutting, but they are to small for trimmings.

Thanks Simon for adding in the photo.

Actually I'm looking for mid ground plants, the Tai Yang Cao is one of them, xue hua is also nice, and Xiao Gu Jing is nice.

[] [] [] These plants are not easy to plant, but I will like to try them out, but they are difficult to get in lfs.

Anyone knows for sure where to find the 3 types of plants from?
