I live north of plattsburgh bud, so a trip down to the capital region to buy plants isn’t going to happen. I wish there was a dedicated aquarium store up here, so it’s either petsmart or walmart. No other options. I have the one pleco from the 10 gallon that is in there now. I’m going to pickup 2 plants and let the aquarium cycle for a couple weeks.
