Ebay but mostly from a friend in the states. I think it be about 5-8 years for a decent size platy.:laugh:

Well time flies, the sooner you start the better. Two to three years down the road you won't say 'now why didn't I do that earlier'. To me planting is an investment in time and you just have to have the patience.:biggrin:

I am hoping this turn out to be P. Elephantotis. Only 5 young survivor out of a whole packet of spores. I find them to be one of the most difficult. Fungus seems to love them alot.
