All those tanks and no plants...

We'll get some more plants in, but i doubt they'll be anything higher than low light plants. The cost/upkeep on anything else is unfathomable from a shop's point of view.

Sure I can setup a few tanks, ala pet pourii style, and make sure i grow a fierce patch of algae on every plant. And what isnt covered in algae is dieing due to no ferts and poor lighting with no co2.

From a shop point, it's a hard sell. You see that glosso? It's awesome right, carpets the floor, and all those oxygen bubbles look so cool. It's only 3.00 for a portion. You only need $200 in lighting and a $300 c02 system to keep it alive, and this $12 dollar bottle of ferts to keep it healthy. Oh whats that? you can barely keep your fish alive as it is? Your tank is full of digging cichlids?

We have some of the largest anubius in washington, atleast from a store. I'll snap some pics when i get batteries from my camera.

Obviously we have a way better plant selection than petsmart, were not gonna sell you mondo grass that'll rot in your tank. I am planning on expanding our plants though, making sure we have alot of the low light crypts, mosses, ferns, anubius, etc.

Anything higher than 2wpg, is gonna be a speciality item, a niche market amongst our customers. I also don't like selling stems/cuttings. I want someone to be able to buy a plant, with roots, take it home, and watch it flourish.

Today I setup a 15g with moss wall and carpet, i'll snap a pic, and then try and update it with progression.

We're also expanding our snail/shrimp/plant cleanup crew section. We setup 6 tanks yesterday that'll house them. more Ottos on hand, cherry shrimp, snails, etc. We'll also try to bring in some of the more rare snails too, like nerite snails etc.
PS, I personally have c02 with high lighting setup at home, it's just not something for the average hobbiest.

Conway tropical pets has the biggest african cichlid selection. I've got the number on speed dial... do you guys have any "odd ball" fish in right now? like Gars, Knifes, Bichirs? I'm heading to Alger to do some fishing on Sat, maybe on the way home i'll stop by.
