I'm really new at this but I have Java Fern, a valisneria (I think) and what was sold to me as a water wisteria. The water wisteria has a stem with roundish leaves every inch or so (i.e. it isn't grass shaped like the other two) and my betta often seems to sleep 'sitting' on one of the leaves. I read somewhere, maybe here, that bettas were the 'butterflies of the fish world'; he looks rather butterfly-ish perched on a leaf like that. You might get him something shaped like that. From what I see most fish stores have a pretty limited selection of live plants. I'd think live ones would be more comfortable; the plastic ones especially seem like they'd be kind of scratchy to something as small as a fish. WW

i have no idea to be honest. my current tank is only 8 gallons and has a single flourescent. i grow anubis, java moss, some lilies and a few unknowns without much difficulty. the Marsilea Minuta looks like my best option. i want to start a new larger planted show tank Amono style with the ground completely covered and some rock outcroppings. i only need a little as i planned to grow it outdoors in the pond over the summer to have enough to plant the new aquarium in the fall. does anybody have any Marsilea Minuta or micro sword to trade or send me for postage�"just need a little to get started. the LFS don't carry either. i have hardy white water lilly, duckweed, frogbit, water celery, penny wort, anubis nana, water cress and rams horn snails as well as many garden seeds and fig trees. i would be very grateful.

I am looking for a Escargot start for my terrarium. I have waterlilies, Patchouli plant, small redbuds, Polka Dot Begonia, small Crepe Myrtle trees, etc. If you have this plant please LMK and will send a good trade for it. Also looking for aquarium plants. Happy New Year!!!
