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.

Elodea najas

If Dr. Seuss had an aquarium, he would grow this plant.

Elodea najas (Narrow-leaf anacharis / Egeria najas) is related to the common invasive anacharis but is a much more delicate looking (and doesn't have any restrictions that I am aware of). It can grow quite quickly but not in that OMG-it's-taking-over-my-pond!� kind of way.

E. najas is an easy plant but appreciates a little extra light, it's not a low light plant. But if you can give it at least the low end of medium lighting it will do okay. E. najas will weakly root in the substrate but does well if left floating which also keeps it closer to your lighting.

The photo below shows the stems you will receive, there are about 30 and most are about 12" long.

It can be a very graceful plant!

This plant 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, it is able to keep growing late in the day even after the other plants run out of carbon dioxide. Because of this, E. najas benefits from frequent waterchanges to replenish the bicarbonate ions in the water.

E. najas is decent for fry cover with the advantage of floating just below the surface (sort of like guppy grass) so it doesn't really catch food particles which the fry cannot reach.

I haven't done tests on packing E. najas the way I have with hornwort. I will ship it the same way, better safe than sorry.

Term details are on my Just Me page which was updated August 24, 2014. 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.

Priority Mail shipping is just postage for 2 pounds from 01888, $5.32 to $9.97. You can check that cost yourself at usps.com, it will be much faster than asking me for a quote, use the online price (Regional Rate Box A), not the post office price. I ship to PO Boxes if it's Confirmed Address.

I am not planning to use a heatpack/icepack or styrofoam so no shipping to locations with lows <25F or highs >85F.

Local pickup can be arranged at 462 Washington St Woburn MA 01801, weekdays, late afternoon.

Shipping will be delayed if extreme weather may endanger the shipment, ...it's a hobby not an organ transplant!

LAG for 24 stems for 3 days if >30F and <85F.

Some of my other auctions may be combined with this for savings on shipping costs.


Thanks for looking and GOOD LUCK!
