Default thinking about getting baby's tears...any suggestions?

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. I would prefer more of a bushy plant that grows many leaves all
along the stems...I've been doing some research on Baby's Tears. I'm
beginning to like what I see...it seems both appropriate for the small and
large aquascapes. Any opinions or tips on these guys?


I like the way Baby tears looks and it does ok in my tank with only 1.5wpg, but
it's a pain because it doesn't grow roots to keep it in the substrate. It
grows even better floating (probably because it gets more light there) and has
made a nice bushy clump where the fry love to hide.
