No, I know you use it as a background plant.....in your last shot of the tank on the previous page, I see a really, incredibly red color towards the left, but it is hard to make out what it is exactly from the angle that I see it. All I am saying is that it would be nice to see more of it, especially with the beautiful dark-green colour of the java moss. The brilliant red behind that left piece of wood would look absolutely stunning!

As for those plants.. have you looked up Ludwigia brevipes by any chance?? they definately dont look like L. arcuata.. the leaves are really a little too big.

Oh and almost forgot.. sweet tank.. try triming the back plants at a point below the wood so that when they branch and grow out... it will look much denser.

Your 'scape is stunning! I like this photo the best... you can still see the driftwood.

Agreed, the sand looks amazing. I love the color balance you have achieved and the driftwood looks like a nice bridge across the sand. I love bettas and it's nice to see a native one, my mom used to catch them as a little girl in Vietnam. And i think your tank is my favorite tank so far!
