    You could ask in the swap shop on here (if it hasnt been spotted) or like you said, ask in your LFS.
    I bought some from Aquaworld, they have a great selection of plants from Tropica, prices arent too bad either. Its 5 euro per shipment on all orders under a certain amount so your best thing would be to buy all ya need at once. Careful though, because fastway deliver them, not a fan of them after I picked mine up from beside my bin!

    Had some stuff sent from aquaworld before livestock. The fastway driver left the goods in the wrong area . He was very rude to my wife . In this day and age. Had to call aquaworld and fastway head office. As delivery driver seemed to be waste of space when it came to doing his job. Wont be using away company that has fastways as there delivery agent. The stock did finally get here. The stock was top quality. Might drop over to the store have a look.

    I had issues with fast way too, I ordered 4 tubs of tropica 1-2 grow java moss and elocharsis, they were all flattened when I got them:mad:
    On a side note, the guys in the the shop are great to deal with and they have probably one of the widest selections of tropica plants available, my advice would be to choose the pickup in store option when buying if you want to avoid fast way.

    Java Fern is a great plant if you tie it to rocks or bogwood, it will grow in low light conditions. I have 2 different forms one has a very thin leaf and the other a broad leaf.

    Hi Fungun
    What type of a plant is it, if any spare cuttings I would love some.

    i actually have no idea, bought a few bundles off ebay a while back, cant remember all the names. Bundles of white flowers about the size of a buttercup coming out top of tank, not sure if any plant experts might know
