They were sort of dominating the little tank but in the bigger tank they blend in much better. The plants will be able to put a bit of height into their growth too, instead of being condensed in a small tank. Cool tank Jim.

Yea the Java moss should take off again and the Nana in the back should have more room to grow. That one is from a cutting I did a while back, The Java Fern is also from a mother plant I have here, its rhizome covers both sides of the DW. Garry, one female betta and 3 otos thats pretty much it. As for the hairgrass I will see I have never had it before so I am not sure how it will do. mts.gif" border="0"> I vote do you? My Tanks at Photobucket

I am looking forward to seeing how this tank transforms. I may just get a terra cotta pot for one of my tanks, I like that...

I have 3 in the 55 as well, and the fish seem to like hanging out in them. mts.gif" border="0"> I vote do you? My Tanks at Photobucket
