Description

We are a hobbyist fishroom specializing in killifish, plants, and blue dream shrimp. Skip all the grief that comes from retail plants melting, infecting your tank with parasites & diseases that kill your fish- for it to perish a few weeks later. Because our plants are grown submerged, they will be as happy the day you place them into your aquarium as they were in ours. If you would like to view our plants & aquariums visit our YouTube channel: YouTube Channel Link.

This listing is for a -VOLUME- of loose plants similar to the image AND a phone conversation. We stuff a USPS, small, flat-rate priority box with your selections.

The box of plants: Though we do not mind how many varieties you request, only so many will fit into a single box. Would you like a large variety of plants, or jumbo portions of a few favorites? If you are interested in jumbo portions of your favorites- expect 3-5 varieties, and if wanting as much variety as possible- expect 6-10 varieties. The image photo depicts what your bag of plants will look like.

Phone call: There are some complexities to offering a volume of assorted plants, so it is best if we chat about what plants, portions and sizes you are interested in. If after our conversation you are not satisfied, you may void the auction & receive a refund. After purchasing you will receive an email containing my phone number and available times to chat. FYI: If you do not care for the phone call and understand the -volume- aspect, all I need is a list of the varieties you are interested in.

Payment & Selections: Make an immediate payment & email me your selections immediately. If payment & selections are not made within 24-hrs this listing is void. Make immediate payment with Paypal using this email: ryanthehut@gmail.com

Shipping: Shipping cost is included. Your plants will be mailed in a USPS, small, flat-rate priority box. Tracking is provided.

Guarantee: We offer the best guarantee you can have. If your plants arrive expired, send us a picture for a free replacement.


Customer Instructions:
There are two box versions. Do you want your box to have greater variety, or would you prefer larger portions of your top selections?
There are two lists of plants. At least two selections must be from List 1.
List your selections in order of want and I will first focus on the plants at the top of your list. It is helpful if you include a couple alternate selections.

SELECT YOUR PLANTS FROM TWO LISTS:
LIST 1 plants come in jumbo sized portions or larger - LIST 2 come at a set portion. At last two selections need to be from List 1; it is these plants we have in large quantities and use to stuff the box full.

Keep in mind only so many plants will fit into a single box. If you want larger portions of your top selections- expect 3 to 5 varieties to fit in the box, or, if you want a lot of variety- expect 6 to 10 varieties. It is possible I may be out of a selection, so include any alternates you would be equally happy with. Make sure to list your plants in order of want. During our phone call I can give you additional details and we can tailor your box so it is exactly as you expect.

FYI: Plants will not be labeled & loose, so similar looking varieties may be a challenge to tell apart.

Now for the fun part, selecting your plants. All are easy to keep varieties as I am not a fan of challenging plants.
