Re: [GSAS-Member] Share shipping on plants?



They do look cheaper than aquarium plants.  I'd love to order from  
them, but it appears as though the only plant that I want, they're out  
of stock on.  I'll email them and see when they expect to have more  
in. :)  I won't be offended if anyone else wants to order from them  
instead.
