He said this is what he can send me. Help me pick what i want Pyro! Since he can part with a clipeata clone that means you might be able to have my old one :)

N. fusca (Sarawak)
N. truncata x stenophylla
N. clipeata x (clpeata x eymae)
N. sanguinea (Red) HL
N. tobiaca (Sumatra) 4/6/07 HL
N. tobiaca HL
N. truncata (Highland Red)

I can have more than one :) I have a feeling i'll take the clip clone 1 in addition to some other stuff. I asked for pics first. I've traded with him before and he has good stuff.

Well because you asked :)

If the fusca "Sarawak" is like the ABG clone of it then that is a very nice plant. Good colour and very vigorous. Plus (an upside) if it gets too big for the tank you can probably grow it outside during summer and inside over winter.

The truncata x stenophylla hybrid is quite nice but can get large as anything with truncata can. But should stay terrerium sized for a good while.

From everything I have seen the clip x (clip x eymae) looks almost identical to clip. In fact IIRC it used to be sold as clip because most people could not tell the difference. SO the big thing about that would be to make 100% sure you always kept it tagged right.

I have only recently picked up sanguinea and I grow mine as an intermediate (outdoors summer, indoors winter). The thing went to vine almost as soon as I got it so that is something you might have to account for as it climbs FAST

As has been said, tobica is sort of generic as far as looks go but it is still a nice plant. But there are also a lot of bogus clone of this going around so yoou might want to ensure it is the real deal.

The truncata highland will get big but its growth rate is supposed to be slower than that of the lowlander so it should be tank worth for a while.

If the choice were mine I'd shoot for them in this order:

N. truncata (Highland Red)
N. truncata x stenophylla
N. fusca (Sarawak)
N. clipeata x (clpeata x eymae)
N. sanguinea (Red) HL
N. tobiaca (Sumatra) 4/6/07 HL
N. tobiaca HL

These plants are crappy... but they are big so it's a trade off I guess.

Pyro, I was also offered a foot-across burbidgea and a smaller N. lowii. Tell me how you think they would do.

Eh, those definitly look like they could use a little help. SOme light for instance.

Of the other two, both are nice. I have not grown burbidgea but it looks like a nice plant and can get epic in size. I have always liked lowii but it might not be in your interest as there is a reason they call it "slowii". THis beast is slooooooooooooooooow to grow. Not a big deal to me as that means more time in tank which make growth easier for me.

Both should do fine in your conditions though.
