Everything. Iâ€™ll empty it. It is full of plants, but not much of interest. Some Anubias barteri, a few stems of Bacopa, some common crypts, Java fern and undoubtedly some other stuff hidden behind the Anubias. It has to be easy to grow or it doesn't survive in that tank.

Hey now, watch it there, buddy! My geekiness is multi-faceted, I'm not just a plant geek!

Dang, I woulda liked to get my hands on some of that stuff. Guess I gotta stop missing meetings, LOL.

Rather than repeatedly spell out "Cryptocoryne" or "Eleocharis" when listing numerous species within a genus, it is common/traditional to abbreviate the genus after the first occurrence, so Cryptocoryne becomes C. and Eleocharis become E., etc.

HTH,
Chris

BTW, THANKS Judy for bringing Chris's plants

I'm sure with all the java fern showing up ill find what I'm looking for but if anyone has plantlets, yes, that's right, small plantlets of regular java fern, id appreciate a dozen or so. Looking for tiny plantlets...half inch to one inch in size

Don't ask why...you'll see in january

Good timing, I've been noticing a lot of baby plants on my regular java ferns. Not sure I can do a dozen, but I can probably supply 6 or so. I'll count them up tonight.
