moondog Moderator The Hobnob-lin Posts: 2676 Kudos: 1038 Votes: 4366 Registered: 30-Sep-2002	i have tried crypt wendtii in there and it got too tall for the tank, so i'm looking for a plant that i can put in my 10g that has a decent root system and won't get too tall. edit: forgot to mention 1.5wpg with gravel substrate Last edited by moondog at 26-Apr-2005 00:38 "That's the trouble with political jokes in this country... they get elected!" -- Dave Lippman

I have Willisi with Wendtii and the Willisi seems to stay a fair bit smaller. Echnidorous Parviforus "Tropica" will stay small. I'm leaving out Anubias, I know you already have some so you may have discounted them already. Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.

They stay pretty short -coffeefolia is also good because, while it does stay shorter than other anubias variations, it will kind of grow "out", so it's not a thin little plant. *Back in the saddle!*
