    Might be the photo... who knows...

    What I dont like off of that photo is that stem plant (common one but I cant remember the name of it for the life of me right now) over on the top right hand side of the tank.... it looks lost and tangled...

    I REALLY like the firemouth tank though... is that a blackwater tank? It looks REALLY dark and I LOVE IT!!! :D

    Cabomba looks better and it seems you have Green Cabomba right next to that other stuff (furry looking plant in the back right hand side of the tank that is BRIGHT green)

    If you get Purple Cabomba it grows fuller and faster than the Green Cabomba

    They should have it... its another common plant too... It just looks better IMO... I just threw out a 5 gallon bucket of Stargrass because I thought it was ugly and now that my Purple Cabomba has grown out and been divided a bit (I have about 4 times what I started with now) I just put it where the Stargrass was... My Cardinal Tetras love it!

    Again it HAS to be the PURPLE variety... the green DOES NOT grow fast... the Purple kind takes off and in a few weeks you will be trimming it and replanting the tops.... BUT it does not grow like a weed which IS good!

    Purple Cabomba with high lighting will plague you in no time (trust me..overtook the 90g in no time)..good fast filler though!

    It really is not purple except the new growth at the top...

    And Dawn... I dont think his lighting is high enough to get a "Plague" out of it! :)

    Stargrass... no... that will plague a tank with NO LIGHTS :)
