    not at all gareth, the fern like stuff is watersprite (Ceratopteris thalictroides). its an awesome plant its been in the tank eh maybe a month and a half and it looks like that with minimum ferts and no CO2 and it shoots roots at the base of the leaves and starts growing a new plant. i used my original 2 sprites and they provided all the lil offsets to plant around the rest of the tank. i also have a bunch of the offsets floating on top of the water and the platy fry as well as my betta like to rest in it (it doesnt look nice but im keeping it for that reason alone. i'l be trimming back in a month or so if you interested in some cuttings?
