I did the same, but don't think I will again. They propagate a little too
well. I wind up taking out a handfull every month or so.

Another choice would be dwarf hairgrass. Spreads reasonably fast, doesn't
get as tall as the tennelus, and provides great hiding places for fry.

I would like to get some grassy type of plant for my newer 10 gal. I
have some fishes in it 3 yoyo loaches, 1 zebra diano, 1 banded rainbow.
ph 7.2, hardness unknown. my lights are incodecent, but I will be adding
a energy saver florecent(does great for my other tank, and cheeper than
a new hood).

TIA
