Thanks to everybody who weighed in on this discussion!  The flurry of emails
this morning has certainly given me some plants to track down and consider.

Cheers,
Shango

I did what Shango wanted with Hygrophila too. Let it grow - it climbs out of
the tank, attaches to whatever you want, flowers and fills the room wtih
fragrance. The submerged parts don't look like much - stems and roots. But
the emersed stuff is really quite nice. This was in a hardwater tank, with a
simple shoplight suspended above it, and some relatively inoffensive
(non-plant-destroying) cichlids in the tank, like tanganyikans I think.
