Description

Massive mother swords pulled from my 120 during a rescape, more leaves than I can count and runners still attached. These have been root-tabbed monthly for two years. Auction is per plant, and the box will be enormous.

Is the auction per plant with one winner taking a single plant, or does the winner get several in the box? Planning a 180 and want to know what I'm bidding on.

Listing says the auction is per plant, and the box will be enormous. Runners are still attached. Message me if you want to talk about more than one.

DD Discus Dan Oct 14, 2026 · 11:19 PM

pete, if two of us bid on the same auction does each plant ship separately or is it all one box? trying to figure out if i should try for two for the 180.

not the seller but pete's listing says the auction is per plant, so i'd read it as one plant per win. bid on two separate ones if there are two up, otherwise message him about boxing them together.

PP Planted Pete Oct 15, 2026 · 12:00 AM

tokyowave has it right, listing says auction is per plant and the runners are still attached. discusdan message me about the two and we'll sort the box out there.

DD Discus Dan Oct 15, 2026 · 8:20 AM

bid in on the first one pete, will message you about boxing a second one together.

pete are the runners on these swords long enough to coil in the bag, or have you already snipped most of them? thinking about bidding on one for a jungle tub.

PP Planted Pete Oct 15, 2026 · 1:47 PM

shrimplord yes, most still have the runners attached and a few are a couple feet long. they coil fine in the bag, i'll coil them for whoever wins.

pete what's the rough leaf count on the biggest one? thinking about a 55 and not sure how big these get once they're in the tank.

PP Planted Pete Oct 15, 2026 · 8:48 PM

brackishbabe the listing just says more leaves than i can count with runners still attached, so they're big. message me and i'll send a pic with a ruler next to the biggest one.

TW Tokyo Wave Aquatics Oct 16, 2026 · 4:14 PM

plantedpete does the auction price cover the whole box with the runners attached? planning to bid if so.

PP Planted Pete Oct 16, 2026 · 4:18 PM

tokyowave listing says auction is per plant, so one plant per win with runners still attached. message me if you want to talk box details.

B BrackishBabe Oct 16, 2026 · 6:44 PM

pete, got the ruler pic, thanks. biggest one is massive, going to sit this one out since my 55 is too tight for it. good luck to the bidders though.

in on the swords. pete, do the mother plants come with the roots trimmed or intact? and is the 22 bids per plant price right, it's climbing fast

PP Planted Pete Oct 17, 2026 · 5:15 AM

riverina roots are intact, i just lift them out of the substrate and wrap the root ball in damp paper towel. and yeah, auction is per plant so each win is one plant, it's got a lot of bidders.

RF Riverina Fish Co. Oct 17, 2026 · 8:40 AM

pete thanks, intact roots in damp paper towel is what i wanted to hear. at 70 and 23 bids it's already past what i planned, so i'll set a max and leave it.

B BrackishBabe Oct 17, 2026 · 10:52 AM

pete are the runners on the mother plants long enough that they'll need coiling for the box, or do you cut them before shipping? asking for whoever wins since mine got snapped last time.

RF Riverina Fish Co. Oct 17, 2026 · 2:42 PM

brackishbabe pete just posted his coil method under the sword runners thread, worth a read before you box anything.

PP Planted Pete Oct 17, 2026 · 2:44 PM

riverina thanks. for the winners, runners with plantlets stay attached and get coiled loose in the bag, that's the plan for every box.

CC Cassidy Corals Oct 17, 2026 · 6:38 PM

pete 32 bids on swords, you're going to need a bigger box lol. do the mothers come with the runners attached on the winning plants?

PP Planted Pete Oct 17, 2026 · 6:41 PM

cass yep, runners with plantlets stay attached and get coiled loose in the bag like in the sword runner thread. roots stay intact in damp paper towel.
