    Corey, I love your plants. You are a dying breed. You truly love what you do. Instead of trying to cut corners to save yourself money, you go the extra mile for your customers. You should make a video of the shipping / preparing the plants. I appreciate all the extra steps you add to protect the plants. I know when ordering from Aquarium Co Op they will be the best that you can provide. I really enjoy your videos and ordering from your store. 🤗😘

    Now people know all the work that goes into importation. Cory was generous to share through you but then he got some free labour.,lol. Two good points roots more important than shoots and snails are like earthworms as you put it. In 80s tried to import orchids from England.
    No documents, plants dead out big $$. In 90s had to deal with SF area APHIS people. Our noob botanist was trying to collect cloud forest plants in Malaysia. Didn't clean clean them properly and I got chewed out. We'd had large numbers of plants from Chiapas but but he collected 70K different plants from there. Point is state's ag business can be severely affected by imported pests and viruses, like Calif and Citrus. Texas owes its fire ants to a 5 gallon can from Florida.

I'm coming to the store this coming Wednesday, can't wait to see the store you've worked so hard to create.

    I'm glad that you show what all is involved in this industry so people are more aware of the reasons plants and fish are priced the way they are. There is so much more to it than meets the eye and clarification gives us knowledge to understand and realize the justification of the work, pricing etc of the items involved. Thank you for the insight.

    • @AquariumCoop

      Any pumps in the tanks get clogged with debris because so much emersed growth comes off of them. We have tried. The next test will be a network of airstones

    If your plants are being shipped to you in emersed form then why do you not continue to grow them emersed until time to ship? Aren't they more efficient at CO2 uptake and grow faster that way? Is it just more important to you that they transition on your end instead of when the customer receives them?
