Hi I did apparently joined in January. ForgottenI did. However I now have a 125 litre tank cycling iF thats what you call it ? On a fishless cycle ,But its taking forever! I wanted to ask about new plants .As I bought some today from an Aquatic shop in Brockworth near Cheltenham..However on getting them home some looked dead!! Really flagging! Another one had lost nearly all its leaves.. and others when you took them out of there pots became so flimsy and not enough root system to make them viable? So what should I do? Take them back?
i think if you are buying plants the shop person shopuld advise you on what to do? Simple really?? But he did not! So spent money buying useless plants whith money i could ill afford!
So feeling really cheesed off and robbed!
What should i do?
Take them back saying what?

Thanks so much
Mary

A lot of shops plants are bad, or even worse not even aquatic plants!

What did you buy?

Sadly some shops are poor when it comes to aquarium plants and advice , so best to avoid. Is ther a Maidenhead Aquatics local to you? Or maybe a ukaps member in your area may recommend a good shop for plants, either that or order off the sponsors ,if you check Tropica for easy plants or the Plant help on UKAPS should help you recognise and choose suitable for your tank. As for your cycling if you give more details of the tank then it would give an idea of what help you need Mary
