Thanks for the advice on easy aquarium plants. Does anyone shop on line? I looked at one place and priced Anubias. Shipping would have cost as much as the plants, and I was placing a decent order, but I'm not prepared to spend dollar for dollar in shipping.
My wife isn't well, and we live in the country near Merrickville. Anyone know a good plant shop that ships?
Could always post in the Group Orders forum maybe some would be interested. I would depending on where your ordering? Lot of plant lovers here...
I checked aquarium plants.com , who deliver UPS overnight. The prices looked pretty good, but when I went to place a $65 order, the delivery charge was $62.
If I didn't have to drive farther than Barrhaven, app. 35min., I'd be happy to be part of a group order. I'm not an OVAS member, however. I couldn't make the meetings, and I haven't left my wife alone longer than an hour and a half, and then only recently. Her enjoyment of the hobby, is part of the reason that I started setting up tanks again after 30 years. Seems like a lot of good people here. I'm enjoying the company. So, how do we go about a group venture?
Why don't you just post in the classifieds for someone from Ottawa to try shipping to you? I don't have enough to bother, but I would be surprised if someone local wouldn't pop some in a box for you if you're willing to pay for shipping. It would only take a couple of days to get to you through regular post and I expect most plants would make it.
Lots of folks have java fern and moss - anubias and african fern are pretty common too.
There's also a number of members in Barrhaven - you could try Toss. Alternatively, just post a classifieds ad specific to Barrhaven and see if that get you any plants.
There is someone on here from Richmond who regularly sells plants(and dry ferts) you could see what he has available.

Appreciate the interest. I'm seeing Toss on Tuesday. He feels that he can accomodate my needs. It may take some accomodating. My 40g has new tank mates for the yellow labs, added 2 Rusties and 6 OB Peacocks,which about finish habitation for that tank.
Thanks y'all.
Tough tankmates for plants.
I gave him a bucket of Java fern and another bucket of Anubias, African fern and a bunch of other plants. Hopefully most of them will survive :)
