Customer Reviews
Plants arrived healthy and beautiful. I had the classic crypt melt when planted but the are growing back already.
Plants always come in perfect shape.
Aquarium coop did great as usual with every order Ive gotten from them
Despite being packaged immaculately the plant showed up looking a bit sad with some broken stems. Despite initial concerns, once I got it into my aquarium it thrived and looks amazing. I also used the easy planter with this plant and it did great in that.
Nice big size with Great looking leaves
Cryptocoryne Wendtii Red
My plants arrived all within a few days. They are carefully packed and are very wet when you receive them. And they are packed in a nice cooler bag so when you open the package, you don't have water all over the place. They take extremely good care of their plants when shipping to you and they will arrive in great condition
I absolutely love the new plants in my aquarium! My crypto and banana plants arrived frozen, no fault of aquarium co-op though. It was packaged well with insulation and heat pack but at -4 and a wind chill of -15 it was bound to happen during delivery. On a good note, both plants are perking up and I’m hopeful they will survive.
My Cryptocoryne wentii (red) arrived in excellent condition in a few days. Unlike my Sagitteria, which was very small and frail, this plant was extremely robust and had an extensive root system - it was almost too extensive, since it had woven into and through the rock wool. After unpacking and cleaning, it planted easily and I added 3 root tabs to help it along to a good start. There was very minimal melting, some stems have grown long and there's a cluster of new growth near the bottom of the plant. It looks like it has acclimated well to my aquarium! The fish loved it from the onset, the tetras especially, hanging about and swimming through the stems. My only concern is that it's not red, even a little bit. I assume that color is a factor of ambient light levels, so I'll wait awhile on that.
Overall I'm very pleased with this specimen! Good job!
Plants came healthy and in a timely manner.
Very satisfied.
