Is it worth noting that a couple of them order to supply so there can be a delay of up to 2 weeks between ordering and delivery? I didn't realise this when I ordered from Java plants as it didn't state it until you clicked on a very specific link.
But thank you; useful to have them all linked in the one place. I'm after a few tall plants myself....

As a side note, I have used both Aquarium Gardens and Aqua Essentials and both come highly recommended from me. Excellent customer service and plants in perfect condition both Algae and pest free.

Worth staying registered for that one Kas. Is it a rolling offer, or just periodic?Kas link wrote: You can also use voucher code TFF5% to get a discount at aquarium gardens but only if you are a member on the other forum? Shhhh...

A friend of mine has used aquaessentials for plants and Amano shrimp and he and I were both impressed with the quality.
they also do hardscape sets if you are new to aquascaping and unsure what to use.

Friendly if you phone them as well.
