I'm getting back into the hobby after being out for 14 years. I've always had cichlid tanks so no need for plants. This time I wanted a community nano tank with plants. I did lots of research and was looking at several online resources. Then I saw the interview and tour of Daku Aqautics on the Fritz YouTube channel. I was so impressed with Anthony's philosophy about the hobby and running a business that I decided to buy from him. It was a wise decision. I received the generous amount of plants that were very nice and vibrant. I couldn't be happier. Thanks Anthony!
