What's New Plants at Aquariums West The Fine Art of Urban Pet Care, 796 Beatty Street, Van., B.C. 604-669-9249
Joseph Uy of Miyabi Aqua Design Ltd. our Canadian ADA representative, will be travelling to Japan to meet with Takashi Amano for the month of February, 2012 to discuss bringing in some more exciting products to Canada! He will be back in March with stories to tell. He has set up an ADA Natural Aquarium complete with ADA lights (WOW!!), stand, glass tank, substrates, CO2 advanced system, Tropica plants....the works! If you have been dying to see what the difference is with the ADA system please come and see for yourself. Joseph was lucky enough to attend the intensive training seminar of the Nature Aquarium at ADA Headquarters in Japan and learned from Sensei Takashi Amano himself. Only 22 participants were accepted from around the world for this event.
Here is a look at one of our many weekly plant orders.

New plant just arrived. Subbwastertang.
Süßwassertang means "freshwater seaweed" in German. This is a very rare liverwort (probably not even a liverwort) that is yet to be positively identified. Some people call it Fern Gametophyte, among many other common names. Grows like Pellia (Monoselenium tenerum) but is larger and rounder. As you can see in the picture, the growth is very full and can eventually get into a nice tight bunch.
Under low light conditions (and possibly without CO2 injection), the plant does not grow as tight or round, although it can still survive well even in the dimmest corners. Recommended for shrimp tanks.

02/01/2012 Tropica has just arrived. Lots of new varieties of plants.
All of our new tanks are setup for plants. Each one has a planting tray with fertilizer, worm castings, Bio starter, Lake silt and secret ingredients which are planted beneath the gravel to feed our plants. I now have these for sale. They retail from $19.99 each to $39.99 depending on their size and they are refillable!!! These were created by Das Aquarium system's owner who is an avid aquatic gardener from Holland. Since we have been using the planting trays our plants have been doing extremely well.
