Check your extended forecast and consider the weather before bidding. Please read entire auction and updated Just Me before bidding. Shipping to contiguous 48 states only, (CONUS, not AK, HI, or PR). Tips for a Successful Transaction Read all the information the seller provides so you can make a smart decision. Sometimes there cannot be a TL;DR. If you still have questions after reading everything, or have any special requests, ask before bidding. What you want may not be possible. Check your email, including spam. It's our only means of contacting you. Read the entire email, the last sentence may be a question. Not replying can delay shipment. If you are having trouble receiving emails, you can see messages sent to you through the AquaBid messaging system by going HERE and entering your Username and Password. Make sure the email and physical addresses on file with AquaBid and PayPal are up to date and correct. Check your 10 day weather forecast. Most problems are caused by temperature extremes, both hot and cold. The seller cannot make the package arrive on a certain day. Priority Mail doesn't have a guaranteed delivery date, it usually takes 2 or 3 days to arrive but may take longer. Tropical Hornwort, Ceratophyllum submersum This is not the commonly available hornwort, Ceratophyllum demersum. Tropical hornwort, also known as Soft Hornwort is... softer. The form is similar but Tropical hornwort can get bigger & fluffier and does not feel like you filled your tank with branches from a spruce tree. The first photo below, taken 4/10, shows the tanks your plants will come from, you will receive at least 25 linear feet. I've since cleaned the tanks and trimmed off the oldest growth but left the stems long, they are roughly 1 to 2+ feet in length. You can cut them into shorter lengths if you want but I will leave that up to you. This is a nice full batch! Only one portion available (sorry) so don't wait! � � There are a few ramshorns in the tank and may be some unhatched eggs and possibly tiny baby snails although most eggs I saw were on the old discarded growth. I will remove what I see but won't go over it with a fine toothed comb. If they bother you you can remove them yourself. But to be honest, they are such good janitors you are better off leaving them. There are no planaria, hydra, pond snails, limpets etc to worry about. This plant should be left floating, it never grows roots and doesn't like being bunched and weighted. If shorter lengths are left alone this plant will align itself vertically which looks really cool. On the surface it looks feathery. � � � � Tropical Hornwort is able to take carbon directly from the water (carbonate hardness, kH) if the dissolved CO2 is depleted. So while no plant will turn down supplemental CO2, Tropical Hornwort is able to keep growing late in the day even after the other plants run out of carbon dioxide. This plant can grow FAST, just look what a big handful of 3" stems I added to a 10G did in 12 days with only one light bulb. The whole top half of the tank becomes safe for those valuable fry! � � � � Tropical Hornwort will grow in quite low light, it just won't be as full or grow as fast. For best results give it over 1WPG. This plant does not need fertilizer to grow but with very light ferts I get a few inches of new growth each week. INCHES.EACH.WEEK. You will have tons of this plant very quickly. I started growing this again a few years ago when a friend wanted large amounts of fast growing plants for fry cover. It's a little more work than guppy grass but it really does look great. Now I am using it again for tanks with livebearers which are more predatory towards their fry. It's harder for the adults to dart through, in fact they tend to not want to swim in it at all. Tangling can be prevented by just snipping long pieces into smaller lengths every few weeks. This beautiful plant is rare in the hobby because is fussy about how it is shipped. I can't just put it in a sandwich bag, it needs to be in water. If you don't believe me look at THIS. Questions? Click for email. � Term details are on my Just Me page. Read it before bidding. Payment is through PayPal only (you do not need an account, just a credit card), no e-checks. When paying with PayPal, you must use a shipping address, my account is configured to only accept PayPal Confirmed Addresses and I only ship to the address given in PayPal. The box will be heavily reinforced with cardboard. I am not planning to use an icepack, heatpack or styrofoam so no shipping to locations with highs ≥85F or lows ≤25F. Shipping may be delayed if it's ≤25F at the origin airport. I ship to PO Boxes if it's a PayPal Confirmed Address. Shipping costs for the Regional A box are as seen below in the map (click to enlarge). This is the actual postage cost and will be printed on the label. (Actual weight will be around 5 pounds). Local pickup is not being offered at this time. Shipping will be delayed if extreme weather may endanger the shipment, ...it's a hobby not an organ transplant! LAG for 3 days if <85F and >25F. Some of my other auctions may be combined with this for savings on shipping costs. � Thanks for looking and GOOD LUCK!
