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.
