I know its late in the season but, I have a bunch of lettes and hyathicas ( im not sure on the spelling). Free to any one who wants them. I put some in my small pond. Now i have a kiddy pool full of them.

no. I am hopeing someone may have a indoor pond, or a plantded aquarium with a open top that can take them.all of my aquariums are saltwater and the wont work. I have thought about setting up an aquarium in the garage for them. But thats going to be hard to keep warm this winter

yea thas why im giving them away. I am going to see if Jacks aquarium wants them. The cost of keeping them over the winter is to much. But if someone has a planted aquarium it wouldnt be that bad`

could be. Joel told me that they need mh lights to be kept indoors. They require a ton of light. If it wasent for that i would set up a small tank just to keep a few. To run a 175w mh all winter would buy me a dozen or more plants in the spring :)

last year i had a kiddy pool set up in my garage. I made a instaluted cover for it. I put a space heater in there and kept it about 72 deg. I had to 65w  65k pc's over them and they still died. I had more in the cost of wood than the 4 plants i ought this spring.
