I still use Pro-aqua-Plant (as Greenline is now known, Andy's son took over I think), they are EXCELLENT for rarer mosses without the rarefied price tag! I have been a customer of their's since 1997 now, and the few times I have been unhappy they have always come through for me with replacements. A perfect example was a time I ordered a large (mother plant) microsorium pteropus, when it arrived it was just a pot of leaves wrapped in sponge. I took pics and contacted Andy and he investigated and found that his supplier had sent him a load like that (those of you who have grown microsorium will know that if less than 2 leaves per piece of rhizome it rots, these leaves didn't even have a rhizome), so he sent me a BIG box FULL of both normal leaf form and windelov form microsorium pteropus FOC (he offered a refund, but I wanted the plants not the money. lol). That was when Andy was running them though, before an earthquake smashed his glass and put the nail in the coffin of his business (he was already struggling from the hikes in fuel prices). They relaunched as Pro-aqua-Plant a couple of months later and now only sell plants grown by themselves, which is why they are such good value.
Dartfrog are ok for broms, live food, substrates etc, but some of the other plants I have had from them have been a bit disappointing in size, always arrived live though.
Plants Alive (plantsalive.co.uk) are good for emerse grown echinodorus etc, Green Machine for Tropica.

If you ever want any myriophyllum or Elodea Densa, let me know.
I have to burn or compost loads of the stuff because of how rapidly it grows.
Bit of a grey area in regards the densa though apparently. |

Greenline, or Aquatic plants Eu have down-sized in a big way now, and I don't often use them for my amphibian tanks now, but I can highly recommend Dartfrog - they do some temperate plants too.
All the best from Bill. |
