Dear Aquatic Plant Seller,
I want to inform you that the state of Maine recently passed a law making it illegal to sell or distribute 11 species of aquatic plants in the state. These plants are considered
to be invasive and therefore a threat to the natural waters of Maine. Please check your aquatic plants to make sure you dont sell any of the listed species to Maine companies
or individuals in Maine. We also request that you take the time to note on your website that these plants are illegal to sell in Maine. Contact the Maine DEP Invasive Aquatic
Species Program at 207-287-3901 or e-mail Karen.A.Hahnel@maine.gov <mailto:Karen.A.Hahnel@maine.gov> if you have any questions. Below is a list of the 11 illegal plants
with possible alternate names.
Cabomba caroliniana (Fanwort, Carolina fanwort, Green Cabomba) Egeria densa (Brazilian elodea) Anacharis Anacharis densa Anacharis canadensis gigantea Elodea Elodea densa Elodea
canadensis gigantea Elodea canadensis (occasionally) Brazilian waterweed Common waterweed Leafy elodea Hydrilla verticillata (Hydrilla, Water thyme) Hydrocharis morsus-ranae (Frogbit,
European frogbit) Myriophyllum aquaticum (Parrot feather) Myriophyllum proserpinacoides Myriophyllum aquatica Brazilian Watermilfoil Myriophyllum heterophyllum (Variable-leaf
watermilfoil) Myriophyllum sp. (or spp.) Myriophyllum pinnatum Two-leaf watermilfoil Red Foxtail Red Myrio Myriophyllum spicatum (Eurasian watermilfoil) Myriophyllum sp. (or spp.)

Hello,
My
name is Howard Vinton and I am an
inspector with the Massachusetts
Department of Agricultural Resources.
It has been brought to my attention that
you may be selling plants listed in our
prohibited plant list to customers who
reside in Massachusetts. I would much
appreciate it if you would post on your
website that such prohibited plants
cannot be sold into Massachusetts. For
a complete list of our prohibited plants
go to the DAR website at
www.mass.gov/agr.
If
you have any further questions you may
email or call me on my cell phone (I am
usually out in the field) at
617-224-3540.
Thank you for your understanding in this
matter.
Sincerely,
Howie Vinton

About our Fish Photographs ...
|
|
Almost all the photographs and videos, shown on this web site, were taken
by us in our aquariums of our fish. Compare the healthy,
beautiful, energetic fish in our beautiful aquariums to the
fish in our competitors pictures. Their fish often look thin
with clamped fins and poor color.
We buy the highest quality fish, produced by the best fish
farms or caught by the best collectors of wild fish, then we take incredibly good care of our fish in our beautiful aquariums. If you compare the pictures on this site to our competitors pictures, you can instantly see, our fish and aquariums are better!
