I was at the LFS today looking at TC plants. I thought they were much cheaper. What happened? Seems not that long ago, a cup was $7. I bought 2, and it came to $35 with tax. Blyxa japonica was $16 and Crypt parva was $16.50.
 
Blyxa maybe, but crypt parva is nowhere near worth that price tag. And I honestly haven’t seen any TC near me other then from Petco or petsmart and they are usually trash when they make it to the store

Yeah, my LFS is making an effort to do more planted tank stuff. They have a couple different aqua soils, some fertilizer, lots of potted and tc plants, and hardscape. I'm trying to support local, but they are on the other side of town. Life is busy. Its hard to devote an hour after a busy work day to driving for a $16 cup of parva. I have to admit, they have a decent selection. I'm gonna keep trying.

What is the LFS name? Heading there on 2/6 to speak at RAS. Would like to stop by and check out the store.

So you're coming here and didn't tell me? :D

It's called the Fish Room. There are 2 of them. You want the one in Raleigh on Capital Blvd. The planted stuff isn't extensive like some amazing influencer video on Instagram, but it's better than most every other place I've been to.

Minimum pricing on Tropica's part. Usually, tropica keeps prices around 15$.
 
@Jeff Miotke , just saw you won first in the 28-54L division of the AGA. Congrats! Well deserved. I love the scape.
