I ripped out a ton of wisteria, as Im tired of it constantly being dug up by my dojos- and now the tank look empty, and Im thinking of rescaping. Any ideas?? The sand stays- theres some small apons/crypts/ lotus in , on and around the driftwood. An amazon sword just off center, and whats left of the wisteria in the right corner.
Ive got about 2- 2.5 wpg of light

Any ideas??

First of all, very nice tank

Second, I think to fill out the right side (which I assume youre talking about) some Vals might do the trick - either Jungle Vals (which will be HUGE), or Italian Vals (a little less huge...) In any case, they'll grow tall so they'll fill a lot of space, they'll multiply like mad, and they're rooted so they won't get ripped up by unruly fish, unlike stem plants.

Back in the saddle!

Id like something in the right and left corners. I completely ripped all the wisteria out of the left, and about 1/2 out of the right, then cut down what was remaining on the right down by about 1/2. It was a jungle, and I like the jungle look, but tired of the wisteria.

Id like some suggestions on replacing it with 2-3 different types of plants, that will grow in sand, and not be dugg up by the dojos every night.

With a Dojo in there I'm surprisedthat you don't have issues with him digging up all the plants besides thw sword.

We don't plant our tanks that have dojos in them. It proved to be all in vain. He just unplants them for us.

well me and my dojos Do have issues with the other plants, I;m slowly solving that by stapling everything down that gets uprooted. If I cant staple it down to wood, it gets weights, and planted in a saucer , then peblles on top, then covered in sand...... The lotus got dug up last week and i found a tangled mess in the am, had to cut them all back cuz i couldnt untangle them, Whats in the pict is about a weeks worth of growth. they are now stapled down to the wood also( most anyway.....)

yeah I know its probably pointless with the dojos, but I love 'em, and my plants, I just want to find a happy medium somewhere...

Tall Java fern on wood or rock might be the way to go then. Most plants (IME) dont' do well in sand, and concidering you've got the dojos digging everything up then I'd go with a full grown java fern. They spread out quite a bit and will fill in the sides nicely.
