[Armando]

Are we ever going to have a local source for Red Gracilaria? If anyone has some please PM me. Thanks.

Why is this algae so desirable Armando?

 

[Armando]

Probably because it's hard to find

 

[jango]

Good food for tang's

Good for fuge also, no problem with lighting and going sexual like Caulerpa. I would also like some if anyone has it.

and supposedly grows really slowly...thats probably why people don't want to part with it. I've seen it at some LFS, but they wanted like $15-20 for a clump. Although i didn't have a tang at the time, so i couldn't see paying that for nutrient export.

If anyone is giving this stuff away, please add me to the list

Why would it be good for nutrient export if it grows slowly?

 

[Armando]

Which LFSs have it?

Armando,

Liveaquaria.com (Drs. Foster& Smith) always lists this under "marine plants." I believe they charge $8.00/bag and each bag contains 4 cups. I believe they have a $25.00 minimum shipping charge but it seems there is enough interest to split that and make it easy. I would be interested in a cup or two.

I may have seen it at Tropic Isle. The other place is James Tropical Fish in East Springfield, MA.
