    I vote for Threadfin rainbows...or Galaxy rasboras...or a little Brackish nano with a pair of Bumblebee Gobies.... - but then again,would ake a better home for a betta than a small school of Neons....

    Nice jon Arnold. Now just put some moss on those rocks and
    you will have a good looking little tank.

    ... quite possibly bacopa or maybe Micranthenum umbrosum? google those two? but sorry, I'm pretty sure that isn't glosso. Chances of getting glosso in LPS just about 0!

    Yep, looks like one of the Bacopa to me.
    Need bright light. I haven't had much success with it in the past. But you might have better luck in your nano.

    Nope. It's definitely not a carpet plant. But most aquarium plants will grow out of water... They just need their roots to be kept wet.

    It's definitely Bacopa. No doubt about it.
