Joy- Thanks for the link to the forum! I've hunted down all of my local LFS's and they have a horrible selection of plants. Looks like if I really want some nice ones, I'll have to go the online route.
Good to know about the onion. I wasn't sure if I wanted to put that fleshy bulb into the tank after considering that it might rot away and gunk up the tank. I actually put the plants I expected to grow larger (the onion and the hyacinth) into my 10g, and the aponogeton into Darby's tank. The onion is sending out roots already, and it's only been three days!
Lljdma- Thanks for the advice and info! After doing a search for the latin name, I can see what you mean about the onion getting big- WOW! Even in my 10g it looks like it's going to grow over the water level.
I realize that the Petit Anubias is too small for a resting plant, but I was thinking it would be a really nice plant to have at gravel-level.
Since you two seem to know your stuff, I wonder if you'd mind taking a look at a thread I made a couple of months back on the topic and give me some feedback since you know bettas and small planted tanks? I thought the OP might find it informative too.
