At present they're no listings on ebay.co.uk, when it does come up for sale I think it's around $15-20 plus the shuttle on top.
I've just cleaned the tank, was going to post an update, it's odd some types are doing well other not so.

Well, the crispus are dying nicely
, the bulbs don't seem to be doing much, which is odd as they normally go mad, but have built up huge root structures so I'm expecting these to take off soon
. The Spirallis are ok but the best is the polysperma, running nicely, the way it's going it should have run along the whole front soon now it's established, love that little plant
. The micranthemum is going upwards which is always a good sign and the wallissii has got new growth at the bottom and is well rooted
.
Nothing has changed on the setup, still no C02 which I'm more and more convinced is necessary, alas due to cash flow problems may have to wait.
Tequila, I know I've just got another tank but that magnificent feast is the last of the petty cash for a few months, any one who wants to help me stock it can help here:

I never seen someone with cash flow problems buy more tank setups, wonder where your getting the money to add fish to this setup. Selling Moon Monkeys on eBay are we now?
You can make a fortune exporting them to MauritiusTequila;1724344; said:I never seen someone with cash flow problems buy more tank setups, wonder where your getting the money to add fish to this setup. Selling Moon Monkeys on eBay are we now?
I know I'm not going to like this answer but how's it's looking?, any answer is fine if it doesn't contain the word 'lame'

Does'nt look that bad, a bit sparse, but that's because of the limited funds you have right. Listen as long as the Discus and you are happy that's all that counts right. And the C02 isn't that big of a deal right now it's not you have a large plant load in the tank yet. Don't worry too much about loosing a plant or too, everyone looses a few. Things will pick back up whenever you start putting more effort/interest & money into the tank again.
