Bucephalandra in Vietnam

[JonX]

I just visited two shrimp shops in Vietnam -Ho Chi Minh City

First was Green Chapter. I bought some Borneo Wild shrimp food. He demonstrated the 'frenzy' one to me and as soon as he put it in the shrimp stopped what they were doing and quickly made their way to the food.

There was also a nice display of bucephalandra.

The next shop I went to was Sui Nho. It was a very small shop with some clever nano displays.

The bucephalandra he had were beautiful and cheap. $25 per plant! I was crying about the prices and not being able to take them home.

Wow dude, very cool! I'm sure you won't be the only one tying about the prices of plants over there, thanks for sharing :victorious:

Last night was huge. We drank 6 bottles of hennesy and we are all feeling fragile - and we gotta back that up every night. :(

They didnt have pintos but could get them in from Singapore for $300- Still expensive. Taiwan bees were $25.

I saw lots of good blue, orange, yellow and painted fire red cherries.

From what I know, it's a a minimum $25 000 fine or 2 years imprisonment. One man tried to bring in a stem of a grape plant from Italy , he tried to hide it under his shirt, anyway he got caught at the air port and had to go to court . The jugde was heavy on him cause there was a bacteria in Europe that distroy an entire wine yard .millions of dollars was lost in the wine industry oversea.
