I've made the rounds to all the big players in Austin for years, but was wondering if there are some good ones down in San Antonio. It's only an hour from here (South Austin) so I don't mind going down there for a good store. I know this forum is mostly reef oriented but maybe you've noticed the FW plants in some of these stores?


Thanks :)

Stores tend to be hit and miss with freshwater plants around here. Alamo Aquatics on Bandera Road usually has a pretty good selection of plants.

you could try River City Aquatics plus they have discus starting at 24.99 they are awesome and so are their employee's as well as the owner

I would go with Alamo Aquatics for the plants. They are consistently cheap and nice. I think Tuesday is their delivery day. I think they are one of the only LFS's that have a good amount of plants.

I have a planted tank and went around to a lot of stores and couldn't find anyone with a good selection. I ended up ordering mine online. There are a lot of really nice plants for really cheap if you look around. I will look for the site with the best deals, I can't remember the name off the top of my head.

their is an ebay store called Aquadise I think, but never the less if you go on ebay type in aquarium plants, you will get a listing for this store or one with a similar name, and it will be based out of houston. They ship for free off of ebay!!!! I got enough plants for 20 gallon tank for 20 bucks, that is what you are going to pay for 4 or 5 plants otherwise.
