You very seldom find the type of service and assistance you have so freely given. Thank you!!!" |
Customers Say:
"Hi Don and Linda- |
Customers Say:
"I received my plants today, thanks so much. I have never had live aquarium plants before, but I got them to make my turtle feel like he is in a more natural setting in his tank. He is already loving them, especially sitting in the leaves and climbing the stems of the sword. I want to take a picture but I don't want to disturb him. If I am able to sneak one I'll have to send it in :)" |
Customers Say:
"Don, you are going above and beyond to save the day for me. You are a God send. I thank our Lord Jesus there are people out there like you.

"Thanks for the wonderful plants! My order was received on Tuesday and the postperson even called me to let me know there was an Express package in my mail box, and she hoped it would be okay. The plants are in wonderful condition and I will definitely order from your company again. The ricca - once I got it netted down onto a rock - started "pearling after about an hour in the tank." |
Customers Say:
"Don & Linda, |
Customers Say:
"I got the plants Saturday, and they really are nice! It usually takes some time after setting things up before a planted tank looks this good. Great job! - and the way you labeled everything was a big help." |

Customers Say:
"Don and Linda, |
Customers Say:
Thank you for the shipment. Everything looks great. Fortunately I was on top of things this time. My postwoman didn't drop off the package even though it had arrived here in Ft. Lauderdale at 6 this morning. I had to call the post office. When I did they contacted the deliverer and low and behold she had overlooked it! What great service the USPS provides! UNBELIEVABLE! Thanks again Don and Linda. I appreciate everything you've done and I plan on coming to you with all my business from now on. The plants are absolutely gorgeous!

"Hey Linda, |
Customers Say:
"Dear Mr. and Mrs. Matakis, |
Customers Say:
"The plants arrived and as previously they look wonderful. I did place each blade of grass separately. I could barely see the hairgrass, let alone grab it with tweezers. I’m sure it will look wonderful when it fills in, but what a pain. I really like those plants with the red color. Thank you and I’ll let you know how it all fills in. By the way, the other tank is looking outstanding." |
Customers Say:
"I received the plants last week around 10am Wednesday. They are quite
beautiful Thanks for all the extra plants and advice. Most of the plants
are now thriving the most noticeable growth is on the Kleiner Bar sword
and the Pennywort." |

The information you also sent regarding how to maintain the plants was very beneficial indeed . I would just like to let you know that as I progress with this hobby I would certainly use your company again for all my plant requirements. Thank You." |
Customers Say:
"I ordered some lileaopsis from you about a week ago; got them today and they are great! Much better quality than what I've found locally.
My reason for this email is that you threw in an extra plant with the order. Being new to this hobby, I'm not sure what this plant is. I was wondering if by chance you can tell me? I don't know if this will help, but my order number was #5896.
Thank you so much for the beautiful plants. I will be ordering more from you as soon as my husband gives me the "go ahead".
Hope the weather has warmed up in your neck of the woods! Talk to you again soon." |

"Hi Don. |
Customers Say:
"don and linda, |
Customers Say:"Wow!My plants arrived on Friday. I was truly amazed. This is my first planted aquarium, although I have been keeping fish for 20 years, I have never seen such beautiful plants before. I have looked at plants in many a LFS but never have I seen such healthy plants. It was definitely worth the wait. The extra plants were a nice bonus. Thank You!!!!
I have a 36 Gal. tank with an Eclipse hood, the tank volume is closer to 28 Gal. due to substrate, driftwood, and rock formations. I am supplementing co2 with a Red Sea Bio system. Lighting is 36 watts of florescent, supplemented with natural light filtered through my outside trees." |
Customers Say:"Hello Don,I thought I would send you a picture of my aquascape. (Matt Helgeson's Aquarium) I absolutely love the plants I got and everything has been going great. Its been about 5 months now that these plants have been growing. I may make another order with you sometime in the next few weeks, or maybe make a drive up to Faribault when I am up in Northern Iowa for Christmas. Is your nursery open for customers to buy plants or not? It would be great to see the operation in hand and pick out some specialty plants."
Cheers,
Matt |
Customers Say:"I'm writing to tell you that I just received my order yesterday (Saturday, just like you said), and the plants are all great! Thanks so much for the extras; I especially cannot wait for the dwarf lily to grow. I will definitely recommend your business in the future. Thanks so much, and it's great to see a fellow Minnesotan with such a customer-pleasing business!"
Sincerely, |
Customers Say:"Thank you! The plants are exceptional!"

Customers Say:"I received order #5632 today.Just a note to let you know that you chose a very nice selection, they were healthy and your directions were very helpful... thanks. I'm sure I'll manage to kill most of them in short order, but in the meantime, I'm looking forward to a nice looking tank."
Sincerely, Howard

Customers Say:"Thank You Linda,it has been a pleasure doing business. I really appreciate Don's help. I am just starting out with live plant's and have noticed there is an extreme amount of science behind it Which I am learning something new every day. Thanks again for all of your great customer service."
Al |
Customers Say:"Hello Linda:I received my plants Friday, and they are just lovely. The tank looks marvelous-I can’t wait to put some fish in next week. "
Thank you so much… |
Customers Say:"Hi Don,I just wanted you to know that my order arrived right on time. I must tell you that when I opened the box I was amazed at the quality of plants that you sent. I think that when people decide to try fresh water plants and they go to their local pet chain store to see what is available a lot of them are turned off. I have already had compliments from friends when they see my tank. I will send a photo attached to this email. I have some small "landscaping" to do but it all looks great. If after seeing the photo you have any suggestions please do not hesitate to let me know. Thanks again. "
John Popowitz |
Customers Say:"Hi,Just wanted to let you know that my plants arrived this morning (Friday) and that we are really very pleased with them. They are beautiful!

Joe Conway |
Customers Say:"Mr. and Mrs. Matakis,I did recieve my plants on Thursday the 30th, thank you for the shipping information. I just wanted to say that I am very happy with the package that I have received. Your plants are indeed gorgeous, and I greatly appreciate the fact that you label and bag each strain seperately. I do now understand that the wait is worth the result, I was just slightly apprehensive with the first purchase from your buisness. Thank you very much for your time, and understanding."
Brandon Buck |
Customers Say:"Hi Linda,Thanks for such fantastic plants. This is the second time I have got plants from you and I am very happy with them. I will tell my friends."
Dave |
Customers Say:"Hi,I picked up my package at the post office on Monday, as the mail person claims to have stopped at my apartment on Saturday (They usually don't knock on doors and just leave the notice as soon as they see it is an apartment building). However, all the plants were still in great condition. I really thank you for your service and keeping me up-to-date on the status of the order. I will definitely be contacting you soon to place another order for my friend. Thanks for the extra plants and substrate. Without your hand-written directions, I would have not been able to do it. Thanks for that also. "
Erasmo |
Customers Say:"Hi Linda!Thank you for the great plants! They are beautiful. My family is greatly impressed. I'll recommend your company to my friends. One question: The lilys, how deep do I place the bulb? I see a few articles that say not too deep. Thanks again!"
Brian Haulman |
Customers Say:"Hi,I received the order, beautiful plans. Once everythis is planted and growing, I can send you a picture if you want to put on your web site as a testimonial. thank you very much"

John F Thompson, P.C. |
Customers Say:"Dear Donald and Linda Matakis,Thank You for your continued personal support in my tank care. Your devotion and attention to clients as well as plants has earned you a loyal following from Whidbey Island as well as I am sure anyone who has done business with you. I greatly appreciate your willingness to provide not only valuable information but also sources for other products as well as where to find things at better rates. You have earned every positive word a customer could say. Thank you!"
Amy |
Customers Say:"Hello Linda,The plants arrived this morning and are very beautiful. They were worth the wait! I've tried places that had quicker delivery but the plants arrived all squashed and in a tangled mess. I couldn't even use some of them. The plants you shipped look very healthy and I was able to plant every single one. I thought the pennywort looked fine, no need to refund me really. Thank you!"
Sincerely,
Jenny Farres |
Customers Say:"Here are some scenes of my aquarium with your plants after 10 months. Most are doing well and I think I’ve gotten a handle on my algae problems. Fish are all very happy (as happy as fish can be anyway!)http://otterwater.com/Fishies.htm I highly recommend your plants and service."
Steve |
Customers Say:"Hi Don & Linda,Sorry for the lateness of my note, but it has been a rough week or so. My son is doing much better & will heal. I wanted to say thank you for the great plants and all of your patient help. You sent plants in great condition and extra's that I REALLY appreciated. I am attaching preliminary pictures of my tank with the plants in it. I know I have a long ways to go in this hobby, but am enjoying the live plants. I plan to try to get CO2 in this tank pretty soon. Haven't had a chance to get the CO2 tank yet."
Have a great day, Pat

Customers Say:"Thank you very much- I appreciate your quality of business and your continued willingness to always help the customer. :-) Have a great week!"

Customers Say:"Don,Okay, I give up: so many plants and several pleasant surprises. Despite having a basic aquascape prepared on paper, the range and number of plants sent me back to the sketchpad. The final “design” is a combination of “by the book” and improvisation. Any lapses are my own, because the quality and selection of plants are exceptional. Am I worthy of Ammania senegalensis ? I’ll let you know in a month or two. Best E. ozelot I have ever seen and the E. uruguayensis was a specimen within 15 minutes of placement. The A. crispus is beautiful with green, olive and dark khaki foliage. My only complaint is that you sent so much Java fern that I ran out of space on two large pieces of driftwood, and my vegan daughter-in-law is not due to visit until September. In all seriousness, thanks for your help and the exceptionally nice plants."

Customers Say:"Hey folks,No long winded stories here, just some before and after pictures. The one labeled "planting day" is one many of you saw a while back. The one labeled "now" is, well, now. The long windy things in the middle are lilly pad stems, the leaves of which you can see at the top. They're quite happy and I have to prune off 5 or so every week. I want to extend a big thanks to David Kee from Kee's Aquarium and Pets (Shelby Michigan) who hooked me up with a beautiful Oceanic tank, all the equipment, fish and knowhow. Also to Don Matakis at freshwateraquariumplants.com who supplied all of the plants. Don and Dave have been an ongoing help and it's a rare week that I don't talk to them at least once. So if you get into the aquarium hobby, look them up, they are top notch operations. What you can't see in the "now" photo is that the tank is now surrounded by a picture frame. This project is now what we had envisioned when starting out, we couldn't be happier! Many happy prunings/replantings to come..."

Customers Say:"Dear Donald,"Sorry about he mix up, we found the package in the second mail box. I was told :" The plants arrived in perfect condition and they look very healthy and beautiful..."

Customers Say:"Hi Don and Linda,"The plants arrived Saturday in great shape and the tank is planted as you can see from the photograph. We are thrilled with the way it looks! The kids love it and my wife and I just sat an looked at it for over an hour on Saturday evening. (We still need to put a picture frame around the edges) Some things I am working through: 1. I started the C02 last night and the pH immediately started to drop. Last night the pH was at 8.4 and this morning was holding steady at 7.7. I presume I will just keep it going at 2 bubbles per second until the pH gets to neutral. It seems to be holding at 7.7 though. 2. I have dosed 65ml of Tropica mastergrow. 3. I have not yet put in the nitrate or the phosphate fertilizer, I will do that this evening targeting 5-10 ppm nitrate and .3-.5ppm phosphate. 4. The tank is a bit warm, the temperature is running at 81F just due to the water pump (Poseidon pump, warms the water a bit but is silent running) and the tank being in an enclosure. The heaters don't run at all and I am only running one light ballast (160 watts 6000k bulbs). I'm looking into powered ventilation for the room the tank is in to help cool things down. 5. The ammonia has not yet started to build up after a week with fish. I talked with my lfs guy Saturday about it and he says 12 danios are not enough to cycle that size tank. If there is a major issue with plants in an uncycled tank let me know. I'll pick up some more fish this week. Please let me know if you are concerned about anything above, if not I'll keep working to get things adjusted. I'll be in touch with the progress. I can't thank you both enough for all the help in setting up my aquarium to grow plants, oh and for all the plants that are in it! I hope you have more customers than you know what to do with, and even if you do, please make room for me too! Sincerely

Customers Say:"I got my plants today! They looked great even when they were in the bag. Before I opened every thing I went through and did an inventory check just to make sure I got all my plants and the right amount. I was missing some crypts. But you replaced those with a different kind of crypt. I was also missing an Anubius Nana. Without thinking I called right away and I got the machine, so I left a message. So later on in the evening I started to actually open the plants and put them in my tank. I had a bunch of extras! By just counting them by what they said on the bag I had 50. But when I was putting them into the tank I found 17 extra plants full size without counting the extra val there was too much too count. I was super impressed, I will definitely buy from you guys again and recommend you too all my friends who are looking for some great plants. Thank you. "

Customers Say:"Hello Don,With a daughter who spent four years in college in MN (at Macalaster) and says she hardly ever met a Minnesotan who wasn't friendly and helpful, I'm not surprised -- but still very appreciative -- of the careful attention you've given to my order and when it will arrive. Thank you very much! "
Best wishes, |
Customers Say:"Hello Linda,The plants arrived today and are WONDERFUL!! Thank you so much. The Kleinerbar Sword is beautiful and to even have a bloom stalk (!!!) and I am thrilled with it as well as the green ozelot and the red ozelot and wisteria. It was very kind of you to include extra plants. I would not hesitate to recommend your site for anyone wanting good plants! "

Customers Say:"Hi Don,I got the plants and they are great!! Well worth the wait. I do have one question about the brazilian ivy. Is it supposed to be planted upright or more like a carpet. I planted it upright but noticed there are roots all along the vine so wasn't sure if that was right. I have tested all my water levels and the ph is still a little high at 8 but that is way down from where it was since I have been putting the acid buffer in. So far everything looks very good, fish are loving it. Will send pics when everything start growing and filling in. Thanks in advance, "
Lori Gray

thankyou, mark e. johnsen
|
Customers Say:"Dear Don:The aquatic plants were so attractive that you chose for my aquarium. I hope I've done them justice where I put them. There was a last minute change to the Eclispe 6 gallon aquarium so the extra plants were appreciated. I think my fish will be very happy with his new home. Thanks for all your help. "

Customers Say:"Mr.Matakis,Just wanted to remind you, I'd very much appreciate NO snails please (as much as possible). Many thanks for spending so much time with me over the phone. I feel SO much more confident in what I'm doing after hearing all your expert advice. It's obvious from talking with you what a thoughtful & serious expert you are. You are very inspiring. So, I've also checked out more things on your website & I'm planning more orders . . . soon. I wish I'd known about you a month ago when I first set up my aquarium!! I'm really looking forward to receiving my first plants from you. But I also understand it might be a while before they are ready to ship. Thank you again for all your kind help, "

Your plants arrived in great condition and I hope I have planted them all well. We are on day 3 and so far they are looking o.k. Thank you for the tip on the Hagen system, it is working great. We just can not thank you enough, our tank looks great and it has been a joy working with you. We appreciate the extra shipping of the wisteria and the extra plants you included on the orginal order. We actually ended up needing them in the back corner because we used a smaller piece of driftwood. We would like to write a customer testimonial for you on the great help we recieved and the quality of your products and service, if you can let us know how we go about doing that it would be our pleasure. We enjoyed working with you, Thank You"

Customers Say:"Hello, I received my order today (30 + plants) and I can’t tell how pleased I am. Being new to the hobby I was somewhat apprehensive about ordering a plant assortment. I was afraid I would receive a tangled, unlabeled mess of dried out plants stuck between some wet newspaper. What I received was a neatly packed box of individual ziplock bags clearly marked with the plant name and recommend aquascape placement. This was a great help! Your staff was helpful, your web site great, your shipping was reasonable and your plants were beautiful!Thank you very much! Sincerely"

Customers Say:"Dear Don,Finally got everything unpacked and planted. Fantastic results so far. These are the best quality plants I have ever had a chance to use. It is going to be interesting to see the bulbs come up and to figure out when to prune all this. There were so many little extras that it completely fills up my 55 gallon tank. Luckily it was completely bare to start with. I'm definitely recommending your site to my friends. Thanks."

Customers Say:"Don,I appreciate you working with me to develop a plan for my aquarium, and helping me to understand how to balance a planted aquarium. The second order of plants arrived yesterday and as always they were beautiful. In spite of being busy you went out of your way to call me and that is rare these days. Thank you, your patience and time are very much appreciated!

Customers Say:"Hi Don,Wanted to write a quick note to let you know that all my plants are doing great and the aquascapes are coming along very nicely. All the plants have new leaves and seem quite happy.The fish are now in the tanks and all is well. No more visible algae. The CO2 is bubbling along and I have obtained some SeaChem Flourish. Thank you very much for all your help and support. I am so very pleased with the results!."

Customers Say:"Hi Linda:-I received the plants today and I have to say I was THRILLED at not only the selection but at the way you packaged each one separately with its own little water supply and all labeled as well as including 4 pages of tips on planting and caring for them! I have bought plants online several times in the past and they have always come very limp and sad looking, just wrapped in damp newspaper and not labeled. Yours arrived vibrant and looking like they had just been picked from your tanks an hour ago instead of 2 days ago. Thank you for taking such care with my order; I will be sure to order again and will pass on how pleased I am to my other friends with planted aquariums."
Sincerely, |
Customers Say:"Don-Just wanted to let you know that I got all of my plants the other day and they are great. I am very very happy with the quality and size of the plants. I'm sure when I get the money and the time for a 100+ gallon, you will hear from me again!"
Thanks very much, |
Customers Say:"Just wanted to say thanks for the plants again, and they are growing excellent as you can see, and I only have DIY co!!!!!!"

|
Customers Say:"Hi Linda,I got the box on Monday. The Red Ozelot Sword is beautiful! And the plants are looking much better with the Natural Aquarium Vital. I’ve seen some fast growth in just one week. "
|
Customers Say:"I got the plants, the USPS found them!! The plants look great! I have ordered aquarium plants online in the past and your plants are much larger and packaged much better allowing them to survive the shipment without issue."
|
Customers Say:"HI Don,Thanks for letting me know about the shipment. The plants came Saturday and are in the tank. Yhey look great. I can tell that you all take pride in your work just by viewing these healthy, clean plants. I used a few to add to my 10g too. Thanks for all your help!"
|
Customers Say:"HI Don,Plants arrived and I am very pleased. The extra ones were a pleasant surprise. I am impressed with the care of marking each package and the details for planting. What kind of time frame should I expect to see these fill my tank for a mature Aquascape? Are these enough for my 75 gallon tank or should I consider getting more? Keep up the good work. Have a great day, "
|
Customers Say:"Greetings,I just received my plant shipment and wanted to say thank you! The plants arrived here just in time for the weekend and they are in excellent condition and I am very pleased. I always wanted you to know how much I appreciate the free plants that were sent to make up for the items that were unavailable, they are gorgeous! I also had received excellent service when I had originally called to find out the shipping status of my order :~). I will definitely be spreading the word about your company to fellow hobbyists, you definitely have a earned my business for life! "
|
Customers Say:"Received my plants today and all are in excellent shape. Thanks for the generous portions. They look great in my aquarium. "

Customers Say:"Thank You Don, My order arrived lightning fast and the plants are way better than i expected great quality. I will highly recommend your store to anyone i know. Thank you also for the extra plants. "
|
Customers Say:"I got the plants today. They are beautiful. I especially like the anubias. The quality is exceptional. You also included extra plants, I really appreciate that. I certainly fell like I got more than my money's worth. I couldn't be happier. When I set up my 30 gallon tank in another month or two you'll be hearing from me again. "
|
Customers Say:" I figured USPS would treat the shipment as if was sent on Monday, and in fact, they arrived yesterday afternoon. But it doesn't matter... it was worth the wait. They arrived in perfect condition and i didn't expect them to be so.... beautiful !!!. I hope they stay like this forever or my heart will break. Even the more delicate ones look lively this morning. And the X-mas moss it's so full of life... you could clearly see it was growing even in the bag it arrived. Now my aquariums ( a 20 gal hexagonal in my room and a 4 gal rectangular in my office) look so alive and natural... as soon as the water clears and the plants settle, i promise to send you a photo. I've never seen my Guppies so happy... so happy in fact one gave birth this morning and now the tank is full of 15-20 babies swimming around like crazy. Please, let Donald know, i promised i would let him know as soon as the plants arrived. "
|
Customers Say:" Hi. Just wanted to say ... I received the plants today and they were all in excellent condition. I put them in my fish tank and they look like they belong there. Thanks again. "
|
Customers Say:" I received the plants today and had a fun hour of arranging them in my aquarium. Thank you for the extra plants. Not sure if the big ugly fish will eat them or not, but he will have to get used to the plants. The tetras are having a good time swimming through them already! Thanks also for the extra plants. I can't find plants like this down here in Florida and I find that really strange that I have to go back to my home state of Minnesota to find them!You have another happy customer!"
|
Customers Say:" My husband and I are very grateful for all of your information and help in getting us "set up" in our new foray into planted aquariums. Your personal attention is a rare thing in a sea of online anonynimity. Thank you for making this a pleasant experience. "
|
Customers Say:" Thank youYour plants are as nice as your photos, all I can say is wow!"
|
Customers Say:" Hello freshwater aquarium plants,I just wanted to comment on the quality, packaging, and content of the plants I received from your company. I not only have never seen plants this beautiful, but the time you take to label your plants and the information you provide on caring for the plants is very impressive. I just hope that I can keep the plants this beautiful, at least I fell like I have a pretty good shot at it with your help. Thank you for going that extra mile! P.S. And thank you for the extras sent in addition to the plants in that package!"
|
Customers Say:" Hi Don,I did get the plants today. I'm at work now, but over my lunch hour, I was able to open up the package and take a look. I also floated most of the plants in the tank so they could get some light. The plants look very good. I noticed a bag marked "extra plants." I could not immediately identify these plants, but want to thank you for your generosity. The plants look to be of very good quality and I am very excited to get the tank decorated. I look forward to doing business with you again."
|
Customers Say:" Hi Don,Received the plants this evening and they were in great shape. I see the Anubias nana even had a flower stalk! I'm just a beginner but I can still tell quality when I see it. Thanks much. Thanks also for the extra java and the bit of thin ripply one, whatever it was."
|
Customers Say:" Received the plants yesterday. Thanks for the great looking plants."
|
Customers Say:" I received the plants this afternoon and they are in my tank and looking beautiful! Thank you for having such great plants and variety. Since the weather will be getting cold I imagine that future orders will have to wait until late spring, early summer of 2006. Again, thanks. They were packaged extremely well and survived beautifully."
|
Customers Say:" I received my plants today, and I am very pleased. All of the plants are in very good condition. I also want to thank you for contacting me when you did, to update the order. If I need plants in the future I will look to your business first."
|
Customers Say:"The plants arrived in good shape and snail free (Thank You!) Although the plants are going through a shedding period on their old leaves, I have new growth both in leaves and the root system. Although I know some of this is due to preparation of the substrate, I believe that it is also the quality of the plants. I’d swear the sword plant is 20% bigger than when it first arrived, but I doubt it will grow that fast. I will definitely order more plants as soon as I see how these fill out the space, and whether I want to fill in some areas with more color or background. I did increase the light to 3.25 watts per gallon, and it appears the plants are happy with that.I cannot say this about many aquarium supply sites, but I would recommend your site. You came recommended to me, and I am very happy with my purchase. Sincerely,"
|
Customers Say:"Hi,I just wanted to let you know how impressed I am with the excellent quality of your plants. The next time I need plants, I will definitely order them from you. You have a business to be proud of."
|
Customers Say:"Dear Don,The shipping worked out fine and the plants are now looking good in my tanks at home in Norway. I'm sure we'll do more business soon."
|
Customers Say:"Hi, I was very impressed with your plants size & quality. My friend helped me plantscape, & he was very impressed with your packing & care you put into put product & details. Well I'm back to order more plants for my ten gallon. can you recommend some type of grass for the front of tank 2 or 3 inches tall. Something that will cover four or five inches square. also some hard to kill moss or fern to attach to my center piece. "
|
Customers Say:"Don,Thanks for the great customer service. The plants arrived this AM (like you said) and were in great condition. The quality makes up for the delay caused by the long weekend. The java fern is the best looking and largest specimen I've seen. What I received in the 20 plant package would have cost more than twice as much in the stores near my home. I'm still trying to figure out what all the "extras" you sent are. Also, thanks for returning my phone calls. Not many internet sites will do that. I'm still planning on doing a monster 200-300 gallon planted tank in the future. I'll be ordering from you again."
|
Customers Say:"HI Don, I received the other plants yesterday and they are great! I love my tank, it looks so good. Everything seems to be doing well and the plants are all so healthy. Thank you,"
|
Customers Say:"Hello Don, I received the plants yesterday. They were in perfect condition. I followed your fore/mid/back-ground suggestions. And I have some rocks and stones laid around the tank that act as a foil to the plants. And the aquarium looks so lovely! It's as fun taking care of the plants as it is fish! Though I only have a dark blue Siamese Fighting Fish swimming around in the green. Can't wait to add the fish, little by little. I'm going to color coordinate them with your plants :) The only thing I am missing now is some driftwood! If you have any, I'd like some. If not, any suggestions where I can find some? Also: Do you have suggestions of plants for small (4/5 of a gallon) bowls containing Siamese Fighting Fish? The fish are red, whitish/pink, pink, and a lovely dark blue. And finally, thank you for the wonderful experience of buying the plants from you. I felt so comfortable throughout the process."
|
Customers Say:"Hello Don, Thank you for the mail. The plants arrived yesterday and they are fantastic. Thank you and I look forward to placing another order soon as I am currently setting up another 10 gallon tank for some new angel fish.Thanks again,"
|
Customers Say:"Hey Don, The box arrived today. Boy, your plants were a lot healthier than one of your competitors I ordered from right out of the bag. Especially the dwarf sag. Very nice and healthy on everything. The roots on the Anubias were some of the best I've ever seen, and I didn't have to tease rock wool off of them with tweezers for an hour. Always a plus. They're all jammed into the substrate and I'll let you know how everything takes to my tanks.Thanks again,"
|
Customers Say:"Wow! I have ordered from most all of the online stores over the years, didn't know you existed until recently, and I will never order from anyone else again! Your quality is far and above anyone else!P.S. thanks for the "trial moss!"
|
Customers Say:"I just wanted to say we received our order (40 gal fresh water setup) last Thursday. All of the plants were labeled and in great shape. We have them all planted and our aquarium looks better than ever. Once everything starts growing I will have to send some pictures. Our fish really love the diversion of all of the plants.Thanks again for the great setup!"
|
Customers Say:"Dear Aquascapes,I have just received the 55 gallon plant kit order. Thank you so much! The plants look great and I really appreciate the tank position labeling. Also thank you so much for extra clippings, I can't wait to see how they will fill out in the next six months. I really enjoy your site and have recommended it to my "tank buddies", again thank you."
|
Customers Say:"Fantastic! I received the plants and I am thrilled! They arrived in perfect condition and all seemed quite fresh and firm, not wilty at all. Thanks for the excellent selection of plants! And the quality of the specimens is top notch. I couldn't be more happy with my order."
one happy customer,

Customers Say:"Hi, Just wondering when your Cryptocoryne willisii is likely to be ready? Also, the plant order (#2372) I received was great. It included the best Cryptocoryne retrospiralis I've ever received from a dealer - one of the plants has a tuber that must be 4 inches long. The Christmas Moss is beautiful and the Limnophilla aromatica is a really interesting plant - waiting to see how this one turns out. The plants are great, but another plus is that the shipping charge is the best deal of all plant dealers on the internet. Plant quality and shipping price will definitely bring me back. ."

Customers Say:"Good morning! I'm writing to let you know that all of the plants included in my recent order (the invoice is in the below, original e-mail message) arrived in good condition yesterday afternoon. Also, thanks very much for the extra/free Java Fern "babies" and for the extra/free specimen of Anubias berteri, var. nana (ABN). Speaking of the ABN specimens (all four of which look absolutely beautiful), I was surprised by their overall size. Based on my reading and on the photos I have seen of ABN (yesterday was my initial, first-hand and up-close exposure to it), I was expecting the plants to be significantly smaller than the Java Fern specimens I received. However, they appeared - to me - to be much larger/taller than the Java Ferns. Perhaps, that situation is because the ferns I received are much younger than the ABN? So far, all I've done with the plants before placing them in their "home," a 6-gallon aquarium (it's an Eclipse 6 system), is to very carefully - without damaging the rhizomes - trim the roots radiating off the rhizomes, so that the roots are not more than about 1 to 1.5 inches long. Also, I removed some damaged/dead leaves from the ferns (again taking care not to damage the rhizomes). My initial plan, before placing the order, was to have the ABN in the tank's foreground. However, because they now seem to be so much larger than the ferns I received, I'm now planning to keep them in the tank's background (for the time being) and to have the ferns in the foreground and/or midground. Thanks again for the efficient delivery of your high quality plants. ."
Sincerely yours,
Arnold Kreger

Customers Say:"Please feel free to add my comments to your customer feedback: My order arrived today (#237). The plants are beautiful, and every plant arrived in perfect condition (used 2 day priority shipping). Everything was clearly identified, well packed, and a refund was included for the one plant that was not in stock. I also appreciated your prompt responses to my emails and phone call. I would recommend your business 100% to anyone looking for quality plants and excellent service! ."

I ordered the same plants from three of your competitors, and I must say that you shine way above the others.

Customers Say:"(Not sure which email address to send this compliment to, so please forward it to the correct recipient.) I decided to set up a planted aquarium as a Christmas present (and to stop the comments about that empty tank sitting around). After searching online, I came across this site. I found a plant assortment for a 55 to 75 gallon tank, and at a VERY reasonable cost. The order process was quite simple an the kit was ordered before I knew it. I recieved a phone call the NEXT day about the order to make sure that the plants that were included in the setup were suitable for the end goal of the tank. Being a possible home for discus, some subsitutions were made to ensure that the higher temps would not harm the plants. Every aspect of the aquarium setup was taken into consideration. The delivery arrived as promised, and EVERY plant was GORGEOUS and HEALTHY. I cannot wait to get the tank set up and get pictures taken of it. Thanks, folks, for making this a truly enjoyable venture, and I will be sure to spread the word of the AWESOME service you provided me with. "

Customers Say:"The order came in yesterday. Everything looks really great. The Dwarf sag was a great replacement for the Hairgrass and thank you for the Cabomba! Also, there was a small amount of Duckweed (?) stuck to the Corkscrew val that is now floating around the top of our tank. The Moss ball is really cool-we named "her" Stella.We are looking forward to ordering from you again. Thanks!"

Customers Say:"I received the plants yesterday. Boy, am I impressed! They are beautiful specimens. I was also surprised that the package was so light. I have only ordered freshwater plants online once before. Those came in a big box wrapped in wet newspapers and was quite heavy. Next time when I order, I will have the plants shipped to my work address - at least I know the downtown Seattle post office is reliable and the package will be easily transportable on the bus ride home."
Thanks again!

Customers Say:"Hello;I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that the plants arrived Sat, 11/27/04. The plants were in excellent health and look great. I was surprised at the number of plants that were shipped. I think they accent the tank very well. I'm sure the Apistogramma will love what I did with the place. The plants really seem to like the 10k lights that I am running as they are already streaming oxygen. The only plant that I did not use was the HornWort, I had that in my 75gal once and it took over the place, after a couple of months all I had was HornWort, LOL. Also being from the South, we have more red clay than we know what to do with, so when I saw the baggy of "Gold Substrate" I had to chuckle, as I thought, I got a baggy of red clay. LOL. But rest assure, I will highly recommend your site as your service and products are "Top Notch."
Thank You,

Customers Say:"Thank you for the time you took to help me set up the aquarium in our family room. I am as you know, a "newbie" when it comes to this wonderful hobby. I really understand a lot more now about how everything works together to create a balance. The underwater garden is gorgeous, and I couldn't have done it without you! My husband and kids are amazed, and spend a lot of time looking I might add. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Customers Say:"They're here!My plants arrived today. They look great. They were in the water within a couple hours of arrival. This will be my first foray into planted aquaria, except for the billions of zooanthellae(sp?) I maintain in my reef at home. I hope this tank will gradually evolve into Discus tank once stabilized with plants. Brief setup parameters: 55 gal standard dimensions/Emperor 400 filter with standard cartridges(supplemental boxes empty)/Coralife4x65watt PC-6500K/8 small Zebra Danios/ established gravel bed from previous community aquarium housed in tank with coarse deep layer, medium top layer natural gravel(total depth 4-5 inches). I know I should have written this letter first, not after the fact. Do you have any suggestions? Do I need CO2? Recommended fertilization regimen to start since I have no substrate fertilization except about five years of fish excrement and food(water changes done with a python so a lot removed with cleaning)? My office staff already thinks I'm nuts, so I want to wow them."
Thanks for the great plants, I look forward to great suggestions.

Substrate is Eco complete and C02 is used. Feel free to post this email on your web site and/or pictures."

Customers Say:"Don, I can not tell you how thrilled I am with the aquascape collection you sent for our 55 gallon tank. All the plants are gorgeous and the one generous subsitution was far beyond what I would have ever expected. I found the landscaping map helpful and a great reference to further study the various plants we now own. Thanks so much! We'll be back to you when setting up a third aquarium!"

I didn't know you could get plants like these after seeing all the plants in the aquarium shops and wondering if they were dead or alive?

You got me - no shopping anywhere else, and I'll see that my friends follow suit. Again, thank you very much."

Customers Say:"Received my order last Friday, July 16th with shipment date of the thirteenth of the month. It took 3 days which is typical of "our area's" 1 day or overnight shipment because we are so rural.. All plants seemed very healthy nonetheless. Planted my aquarium as soon as I got home that evening making for a beautiful display and great enjoyment for my diamond tetras; glowlight tetras and few blue platys. Thank you so much for your beautiful, healthy aquatic plants which I have no doubt are the best I could have gotten anywhere. I will be ordering plant fertilizer etc. from you in the near future but for now wanted you to know how pleased I am.."Thanks again,

Most of the plants in great to near perfect condition...some had a couple of bad leaves and or tangles of other plants in them...but that was to be EXPECTED. I got more, much more, than I bargained for though. A tiny sprig of a wispy feather-like plant that has pink-red tips to the tiny leaves--I think it is Rotala wallichii (BONUS) and also some java moss spigs(I THINK). All total I am very pleased with the order and wanted to let you know. I also got a couple of hitchikers in the bag also...some tiny snails...at first I was going to kill them but decided that it was best to let them live..(easier to tame snails than it is to tame algae out-breaks)--so the snails are a bonus also. The Coffeefolia is already "pearling" (streams the tinyest air bubbles coming up from the rhizome)--I placed it in the center, under the bright light part of tank to help it thrive. The Nana(both of them) are very healthy. My tank was saturated to almost toxic levels of CO2 this morning (about 7.0 ph with Kh of ~12 deg = ~36 ppm +/-)..now even the water is better looking after just a couple of hours!! "Jeff Natz

Customers Say:"Don: The plants arrived in excellent condition this morning. I am very pleased with the selection, quality and quantity of the plants. The reds you sent me are beautiful and it's up to me to make them grow. I've got a good light now (2W/gal, 90 CRI) and I've got the reds directly under the lamp and off-center. My DIY CO2 need an upgrade because it struggles to get the pH below 7 now. I'm am now in the process of making a controller (I love projects) for a high pressure system that should be up and running in a month or two. If nothing else, I can have it up and running in several weeks manually. I'll let you know how it goes and I'll get back with you for some fertilizer balls later this year. Thanks again for all of your help and advice. I don't think I've got everything correct to grow plants well but I'm getting better at due in part to your help. "Sincerely, Andy Walker

Customers Say:"Got my plants today, (thursday) just wanted to say they are in great shape and thanks again... "Jimmy P.

Customers Say:"Don: Many thanks! The shipment arrived in fine condition, and a very enjoyable afternoon was spent carefully unpacking and planting it all! It is just as well I did not order any more, as this lot occupies the tank nicely without any shading and crowding, a beneficial situation for the plants to get started. A very nice selection – much appreciated! I’ll be in touch again in the future after we see how these diverse species sort themselves out. Some will do better than others, and I will no doubt need to fill in some gaps in time. "M.

Customers Say:" Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. I received the second box Wed am. We had a wonderful time planting them that evening. Everything looks great. I will definitely order from you again whenever the need arises. Thanks for everything! We're going to take pictures this weekend. If they come out, I'll send one to you. Sincerely,"Amanda Stepp

Customers Say:"Thank you for prompt delivery of the plants, they are in excellent condition. I am in the process of cycling one 32g and one 80g, so I plan on ordering LOTS of plants again. (by the way, the anubias is outstanding). Thank You,"Deanna Crownover

Customers Say:"Don, The the plants for my Amazon Biotope are amazing. I had two requests to help set up aquariums from visitors this weekend after they saw this aquarium. The CO2 system is excellent quality. Thanks for the great advice and correcting the miscommunication. Perfect plants and excellent service. Thank You,"Brian Applegate

Customers Say:"I just wanted to send a picture of my tank since I planted the plants I bought from you the second week of July. I have been using Kent Pro Plant, and both Flourish and Flourish Excel. The plants are growing so fast, I find myself pruning every three days or so. One day It got to the point that I had like 15 large red leaves at the top of the tank completely blocking light to the rest of the plants. I pruned heavily that day. I am currently having to cut back on the pruning a little as a pair of Blue Rams I have are breeding and I can't get to that side of the tank with the clippers without them attacking the clippers. The plants are wonderful and I will be getting a new larger (125g) tank fairly soon, so I will definitely be buying some more plants. The plants will need to be goldfish proof plants though, as the tank will be housing 7 large goldfish." Robert Gordons TankClick Here! Robert Gordon

Customers Say:"Thank you for the aquarium plants! They make my tank look better than any other tank I have ever seen. I think I may have to get another tank to support all of them. Once again I really appreciate the aquarium plants and look forward to ordering more from you in the future for other tanks."Charles Lane
