Sounds like I should get some water sprite. Right now I have a bunch of 
java moss in all my tanks. If I have any extra I'll try to bring some to 
the next BAKA meeting Mr. Huntley :-) . The java moss I've found is 
great for mid to low range coverage but there's absolutely nothing 
(apart from mops) at the top (that's not good considering 2 of the fish 
in there are extremely jumpy). In any case now I have extra room my 
community tank and have got to figure out what to breed in there. . .   
  Killifish, Guppies, Corys maybe? . . . ;-)
