Since I have a small 15 gallon to work with, I'm thinking of replacing my
hygrophelias. I don't like the constant shedding of the leaves and straggly
bottoms.

It sounds like you might not have enough light for Hygrophila. How much light
is over this tank?

Any opinions or tips on these guys?

Babytears is a much more demanding plant that Hygro, in terms of light, CO2,
etc. If Hygro's not doing well, I suspect babytears won't, either.

Babytears are beautiful plants, but they require a lot of work. Like your
Hygro, they will get straggly at the bottoms, and you have to constantly prune
and replant them to keep them looking good.
