I'm not too sure I would consider watersprite a lowlight plant

I did think it was strange that it was listed in low light. I looked it up on tropica the other day and it said CO2 may be necessary to promote growth, which would also mean higher light (since most people don't have CO2 on low light tanks).
And it has it as high-very high light.

(from www.tropica.com)

That is a cute bird by the way.

Having had both Wisteria and Water Sprite, I have to say that the Wisteria is clearly the prettier of the two, but the Water Sprite is growing faster. Yes, as mentinoned before by others, the Water Sprite can be planted in the substrate.

But I cannot say anything about the behavior of Water Sprite in low, or even medium, light settings as I only had it in my high light tank, and there it took off like mad.

blazeybird,

Remember that you want at least 2", better 3" of gravel at the bottom so that your plants have a sufficently high substrate to root in.

Can't wait to see the changes,
