I went today to the Lfs and I saw there some limnophila sessiliflora
and I couldn't resist. Had to get it.

Problem is, my tank is already full of plants, and I shouldnt have
anymore, not because of the fish, but because there isnt space anymore.
:)

But how can one resist such beatifull plants??

I've considered getting a bigger tank, but there's no way I would get
anywhere close of what I paid for my current tank so it's a problem. :)

That's why most of us have more than one tank :-)

I saw a perfect aponogeton madagascariensis yesterday and had the same
problem... not enough room.

My other problem is that the fish that are in there were inherited,
along with the tank, from a friend. Right now there are two LARGE
spotted gar in a 75 gallon with a lot of hygrophila, anacharis, some
swords, some bacopa (moneywort?) and one echinodorus harmannii <sp?>

Anyways... the gar have obviously got to go, I've been patiently trying
to find someone who will take them, and the person from whom I got this
aquarium for free said the gar must go to a good home (an honorable
stipulation?) I live in an apartment and move every few years, so a
second aquarium really isn't very convenient. So right now I'm building
a specimen refugium into a sump (20g long) that I'm building for my
open-front aquarium stand, which is also in the midst of being built.
This is going to also require that I inject CO2 since DIY + excel can
only go so far when you've got a sump exposing more water surface to
the air.

Anyways... just saying hi and I feel your frustration. Good luck!
