Hello,
I was wondering if anyone in your aquairum club/organization has Turtle grass (Thalassia testudinum) that they would give, trade, or sell to a fellow aquarist in another state. I can't find this sea grass anywhere. I am trying to set up an environment that will eventually have pipefish.
Thanks

can you send me a picture of what you're looking for? the store i used to work has been selling some stuff that they have been calling turtle grass. i also have been growing it in my tank but i have a hard time keeping it under control so i usually give most of it away. lmk.

If you go to www.floridapets.com and look under aquarium plants you will see pics of turtle grass. I tried to put a pic, but it didn't work. It usually requires a 6 inch sandbed or it won't survive! Do you have a pic of what you have in your tank?
