WTB, FW Plants and Dwarf Puffers

[carb850]

I'm going to be looking for a few FW plants and looking for some locally. If anyone has some or knows were to get the following please let me know.

Hemianthus Callitrichoides (HC)
Blyxa Japonica
Rotala pusilla

If you have any other small leaved FW plants I might be interested. These will be going into a 10G tank and I want to give the illusion that it is bigger than it really is.

Also, does anyone know were I can find Dwarf Puffers and Oto's locally?

Thanks

Wal-Mart fish of the month is the little green spot puffers.

Our favorite LFS usually has them

One thing I want to make sure is that I get the Dwarf Puffer and not the Figure Eight puffer. They look very similar but the Figure Eight needs brackish conditions were the DP is not tolerant of salt.

Dwarf Puffer

Figure Eight

I would personally recommend you NEVER buy fish from wally world, I have seen many bad things come from it. The fact they are dropping selling of live fish from 700 plus stores tells something.

I will give our favorite LFS a call when I'm ready. I haven't seen these little guys locally but then again I never really looked either. I heard Petsmart sells them in a lot of locations, actually some people found out that they breed them. I looked this weekend out Southridge and didn't see any so they might not in this area.

Jim, I can't believe you would discourage anyone from buying from wallyworld. You must really be scared of your competition's high quality livestock.
(Insert evil laughter here):lol:

I could not begin to tell you of all the horror stories I've been told about wallyworld fish. On the other hand, I really don't think they are any worse than many of the huge pet chains (you know the places.)

I personally know several people who buy fish from Wally world

Let's just say they call me up and want to know what they did wrong. They only bought one fish now all their fish are dying.

What am doing wrong.

I always tell them it is where you bought the one fish that went in the tank without quarrentine.

LOL, I think you guys missed the sarcasm.

Wal-Mart is a very reputable pet store, is it not?

Oh of course

I wish they'd remove the betas from their shelves/stock. They are too near the bird seed and I have to turn my head and rush buy, or cry for them. How awful.
