Hi,

Lately I get the feeling that I am being accused of being supportive of this product or that product. In order to clarify that, let me say it just once.

If that particular product works for me, hell why not? That product can be imported from Timbuktu, as if I care, but as long as it works for me, I will surely support it and recommend it to everybody else. Unless something better comes along, I will try and use it as well, if it works for me. Nothing is wrong with that. Outrageous, IMO, to use one particular product (locally made or imported) for just being supportive if it does not works well for me.

This is not only true on any particular product, same as any website which I used as reference, which have a huge and reliable information about aquatic plants, such as Tropica etc, I will always refer to it.

At least, until some local product or local website have some better things to offer, make it widely available, easy access and with reasonable cost comes along. No point of bitching about that sand actually from Sarawak or that substrate actually comes from Malaysia, or that plant comes from Malaysia if you don’t do one single thing to do R & D about it, to make it viable to use, to market and promote it so that it become widely available. How many of us have the time and means to do that, anyway? One thing I could do though, is to learn more about those plants (or substrate or sand), said to come from Malaysia, so that maybe on my next outing, I could pick up a few stems or cuttings or bags and grow or use it in my own tank.

So guys, take this with open-mind. Lets talk about plants instead.

So, where exactly this L. Aromatica in the wild can be found in Malaysia? Anyone knows?

Best Regards
