Was not shocked at how great they looked, Flip Aquatics always provide quality products. These cardinal plants though were amazing! Large quantity and high quality!
The order the 2 Lobelia cardinalis came in included two fish, a few snails and 4 micro-swords. The plants arrived looking great with long healthy growth. Because I was monitoring the tank everything was going into, I made sure to put everything in a tote let it acclimate to the temperature and then unpacked them into the water. They have continued to show great color and health in the tank and have begun to grow the smaller light green leaves of the submerged version already. The new growth looks great.
I had picked up two of these from a local store. I liked the way they looked and the smell, so when I saw that Flip Aquatics carried them and I needed to round out my order I didn't hesitate to add them to my cart, I really liked the way they look and it's a nice contrast from the more grass like and long leafed/stem plants already in the tank. Would definitely order them again from Flip.
My shrimp like the leafs for their own reasons.
