My 2g planted

[poly-nomial]

I would get some small pieces of driftwood and anchor anubias nana petite and needleleaf java fern. Those swords will get way to big for your tank. You could get a couple small pieces of wood and make a pretty dynamic composition also utilizing some moss. The betta will enjoy the accomodations. Mine always liked to lounge on the taller plants. Consider a dark tank background as well.

Thanks for the tips. The swords are growing strong enough for my 55g also while i am awaiting new lights for the 55g.

aha, makes sense They may outgrow your 55 as well.

pics of ones I grew out in my 75 that were emerging out the top of the tank. They took up 2/3 of the 75g:

Do you just toss them if you get too many?

i sell them off. I have actually stopped keeping most swords because of their size. I now do more stem plants and rhizome plants or crypts.
