Here's a picture of the lily pads with my top and lights off. I think this is what you are looking for.

Haag. Thanks for the picks. Yeah I would love some sort of lilly pads on top like that for the bass.

Are those Lilly Pads or the same plant that santoury was talking about.
 
That's the same plant that santoury is talking about. The "growth in 5 weeks" thread shows my lily from the side and the pictures I posted in this thread are from the top. The lily will completely cover the top of your aquarium if you let it. I let a bunch of pads cover the top of mine then I thinned it out to just 5 or 6. Now I cut off any other pads that are growing to the surface and I just let the several that are on top expand. It's called a dwarf red lily by the way. They grow fairly slowly under lower light conditions but under medium to high light they grow very quickly, especially once a few pads are on top taking in straight light.

Oh cool. Thanks for the pics and info. Those are very cool. I may have to try those. I'll post up some pics if I do.
