What do you think of water wisteria?

I have a ten gallon divided tank with two male bettas. One is a red dalmation and one is a white and purple marble. Does anyone else think water wisteria is a good choice for a back ground plant in this case? I've got java moss and fern, amazon sword, crypts, and apon bulbs. My lighting is 2 wpg.

Wisteria is beautiful, although I've found sometimes it 'melts' in higher alkalinity situations, so watch our for that! It also has a secondary form when it's floating rather than planted that is kind of neat. It'll look like it's just about dead, then suddenly start growing well for you. (much like amazon swords that are grown emerged often do when you start growing them submerged).


I LOVE elodea (AKA egeria densa)...beautiful, green, and lush, grows so easily, and chows down the nitrates in the tank. Just be cautious getting rid of overgrowth on either. Both wisteria and elodea are 'pest' species of plant, and need to be thrown away, not put into the plumbing in any way. I try to make sure mine is completely dead before I toss it...I've seen horror stories of water ways near dumps getting clogged with. I think it's most likely extreme and untrue, but, hey, better safe than sorry!!!
