Thanks for the kind words! The foreground is dwarf hairgrass, or elocharis acicularis. The crypt in the front is actually a wendtii "Tropica." I recently got it, suprisingly at Wal-Mart, so it's still adjusting to submersed growth. As for the big green plant, I'm at a loss for a focal plant. A "Kleiner Bar" sword would work well, but swords get too unruly. What would you say to some anubias in the midground/foreground, on the left side? There's one plant on the right you can't see in the pics--Pogostemon helferi, or "Daonoi." It's a nifty plant, but grows very slowly. Hopefully the plants I do have growing out will work. They barely survived 6 days in a box in the mail, in freezing weather. I'm trying to get my Rotalla sp. "Nanjenshan" to recover. I think it will be a nice plant if it can.
