I've found that if I let some pearlweed (Hemianthus micranthemoides) go it
will form a dense column of tiny leaves over a foot tall in a short time.
The Lemon Tetras will wiggle their way into this mass to spawn and it's
apparently dense enough to capture some of the eggs and keep them from
getting sucked into the filter.  The baby Lemons that eventually emerge are
few but cute as can be.  I rank them right up there with baby Cory Pandas on
my cuteness scale, so let the pearlweed get out of control every few months.

Regards,
