Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	I'd like some sword recommendations; thus far I only have experience with Amazon swords, which are doing well. This tank with low-medium-ish lighting no co2, gravel substrate...height isn't a problem, this is for my 75g Thanks edit: the site I purchase from has Brazilian, Jade, Marble Queen Radican, Melon, Ruffle, Rubin, Ozelot...any opinions on these?

The types that you have mentioned are relatively easy plants, see http://www.tropica.com. I have ozelots and rubins and have been pleased with both.

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.

It hasn't invaded the top of my water column yet so I'm happy about that too. I can post a pic of mine if you like. Critical Fertilator: The Micromanager of Macronutrients
