Some of the branches turned yellow in shipping, May be it is expected. Overall looks healthy and very Well packed .

Bulb looks healthy on arrival and also has roots sprouted.

The plants were beautiful!! The hornwort is literally the best hornwort I have ever seen. I had hornwort before but no where near this full and green! In love with the way it has transformed my tank! ...my snails and shrimp adore it too :)

Arrived in great shape. Very nice specimens at a great price. This company has an awesome selection!

Plants received were bright green and full. Very healthy and ad a slash of color to my set up. I will buy from APF again.

Nothing to say but it was it perfect health and arrived on time

My lil boy went right to it when we put it in. The moss is attached extremely well and its all I was hoping for.

Added this to a start-up tank (5Gal). Attached to rock in a few areas and substrate in others. Looking forward to seeing it mature. Plant arrived in great condition

Came very well packaged and preserved! looks great in the aquarium, can't wait to see it grow into a nice carpet!

Arrived and most of them are close to dying. Will wait to see if the healthy ones stay healthy and can multiply.

I ordered these shrimp as a 1 year anniversary present for my wife. I am deeply dissatisfied with the the quality of shrimp and the customer service that followed. I was sent 10 shrimp, all arrived alive. 3 had a hint of green, 6 were brown, 1 was brown with a hint of blue. I sent an email describing my disappointment, also noting that all arrived alive though one looked sad. I then received a response from Tristan stating that they sent 1 - 2 extra to account for any DOA. He also stated that after they were given time to recover from stress I would notice a hint of green on them. I replied stating that no, they did not send 1 - 2 extra. Further, the issue was not the quantity I was sent but that they sent me brown shrimp. I received no reply to this. However, I did begin receiving reminder emails for me to come to this website to review my purchase. Well, they have had time to recover from stress and they have not changed color; they are still brown. This is my review.

I feel as though I received a letter from their legal team rather than their customer service team. Green shrimp colonies are hard to maintain; they do not always breed true and many return to a wild color. This does not give someone the liberty to sell brown shrimp just because they were born of a green parent. I am further disappointed because I have multiple tanks, all heavily planted. This seemed like a great place to find plants for my aquarium. However, based on the customer service received I will not be a repeating customer and will be informing others to stay away.

When I received them, the leaves were broken, the tubers were brown and soft. Only 1 is growing with small leaf, but I haven't seen anything from the other 2 yet. Not sure if they would be alive since the tubers were brown and soft = dead?

Purchased 3 of these potted plants. Plants were packaged professionally and arrived in great shape. The plant was free from algae and had an extensive root system. This plant is definitely a great aquarium addition. Couldn't be happier with this purchase.

Purchased 3 Anubias Pinto plants for my aquarium. All came in perfect conditions with significant root growth for easy planting. The leaves were algae free and were of top quality. Aquarium Plants Factory is the best online retailer of aquatic plants

Plants arrived healthy and robust. Beautiful addition to my 75 gallon tank. I was able to separate out several plants from a single bunch. Great company.

Plants came in fast, also the best plants I have ordered online.

Second order with APF and everything was perfect.

It arrived looking really healthy, and took to my tank right away.
No co2, water column ferts only, and planted in pure sand.

I plan to slowly replace my corkscrew val with this as it grows in and starts sending out runners, its just so pretty.

Poor quality plants-dead when I opened the package. Need to get in this business. $61.00 for dead plants is a nice profit for APF.

Poor quality plants did not last 3 days in my aquarium. They looked dead when In received them. $61.00 down the drain!

This is my first purchase from APF and the Java Moss was for the driftwood pictured.

After doing some research on buceps, I converted a matured 50-Gallon tank to a holding tank (for the four sets of BUY2GET1FREE items labelled in the attached photo) as I'm cycling two other tanks that they'll be placed in. As this was my first purchase from APF, I didn't order all the plants that I intend to stock those other tanks with as I had no idea what condition their product would arrive in. However, based on the timeliness with which my order arrived, the obvious care with which the product was packaged, and the healthy plants (and extra plants) that I received, APF will now be my go-to plant supplier. As a matter of fact, I just ordered a few more buceps (Brownie Ghost).

Details: I am located in the Seattle area of Washington state. I placed the order on Saturday, June 27, 2020. APF sent an acknowledgement email with the USPS tracking number which initially indicated a delivery date of Friday, July 3, 2020 but was updated a few days later to Thursday, July 2, 2020. Delivery was made shortly after noon on July 2 (according to the USPS tracking info) but I didn't realize that they had arrived until about 2.5 hours later when I received a delivery notification email from APF. I was worried that everything would be baked but after retrieving them from my mailbox, I was relieved to see that APF's packaging included heat shielding and all sets of packaged items were sealed in moisture-retaining, custom-sized, plastic bags. I took them inside and left them in a cool area of the living room where the holding tank is located as I was still doing work-related stuff. Finally got to them around 8 p.m., opened up all the sealed plastic bags, carefully removed each set of buceps from their foam and lead weights, inspected, rinsed and trimmed (minimal trimming was required), got the buckets I had with hardscape soaking... one with driftwood and the other with Seiryu... and started super gluing everything... also added a few Anubias Nana that I had on hand. Finished around 11 p.m., gave everything a once over, then placed them all in the holding tank.

It's now 3 a.m. on Sunday, July 5, 2020 and I took the attached photo about 2 hours ago. Therefore, the buceps have been in the holding tank for a little over two days with no melting that I'm aware of. I'm totally satisfied with APF.

This is my first purchase from APF as well as the first time I'll have any Bucephalandra.

Very slow shipping but the plants showed up in real good shape.
