Hi Folks,
I am planning to go to Crawford market on Saturday to get some aquatic plants for my 5 footer tank.
Could you please guide me with some shop names at Crawford where I can get Aquatic Plants.
I am also interested in getting some Live Shrimps and some Siamese Algae eaters.
Please guide me.
Regards,
- Vinay Gaonkar. |

my personal experience is not very good at crowford market. never saw plants in good condition there. u will have to see all shops there, that is what i used to do. and secondly bargain a lot, they sell fish and plants at the price of gold.

Don't waste your time to shop Plants there...
Just go to Kurla...You will get plenty of varities at UTKARSH aquarium. |

Hi Vinay,
As Hemesh said, its better to go to Kurla for plants. Only one guy (Pisces) at Crawford market sells plants and the variety is very less. A couple of days back he had Java moss and some Anubias.

yeah crawford is a disappointment for plants. instead nautilus, kurla, utekar, aquanature are a better bet. |

That would be utekar and aquanature. utekar shifted a few blocks on the side. search google maps for both the shops. I had updated their info out there. |
