Dkshadowwolf Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Hi all Has anyone had experience with selling on aqua bid? My main aquarium is a 125 gal planted community tank which is heavily planted with Anubis barteri and Java fern. I have had this tank set up for many years, which has let the Anubis & Java fern become well established. (some might say overgrown 😀) I want to slowly add more plant diversity and open space to my aquarium. Prior to COVID I would take excess plants to my local club, but currently we are not having in person meetings. Has anyone had any experience with selling on Aqua bid? In particular shipping plants like Anubis and Java fern . I have purchased live food starters from Aqua bid, but I have never sold anything. Any insight would be much appreciated. 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betsy Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I can't help you...but I can say: If I were an Aqua-Bidder, I'd definitely purchase your plants!! They're glorious!! Are you planning on selling your green thumb? 😜👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkshadowwolf Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Thanks for the compliment, but truth be told I really don’t do anything special I think my success is mainly not getting in the way of nature, and as Cory likes to say SST (Seasoned Tank Time). My Aquarium have been up and running for over 10 years. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenman Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I've never sold plants on any site, but I have bought plenty from sites. Most plants I buy come wrapped in damp paper towels and are sealed in a Ziploc type bag or plastic container. More fragile plants tend to come in a box. Less fragile plants come in an envelope. E-Bay and Etsy are two alternative sites you could use for plant selling also. I mostly buy through e-Bay. They've been around forever and have the largest selection, but Etsy is catching up to them in terms of plants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice, the zip lock bag and damp paper sounds like it should work for my Anubis and Java Moss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
