Beautiful plants very healthy!!!!
It was cool for you to replace the bad plants. But what you sent wasn’t what I ordered & the grass had black beard algae on it. I removed them & trashed it. Thanks but no thanks.
All the plants that I ordered including the DS arrived promptly and with great packaging and each looked great. All are still planted and doing well. I was anticipating the DS to remain small and carpeting but it's quite large with some strands reaching nearly 10". I am just letting them take root good and see what happens. I do think that maybe some 'pest snail eggs' must have piggy backed in on my order because I now have some in my tank and I didn't before. It's no real issue but seems to be what happened. I would definitely order again from Daku but treat for snails (eggs) more carefully before planting.
Plants arrived safe and sound. Second week after planting with no melt.
