Nice Tanks!

I like the 50G bow the best, followed by the last 20G with the killie's.

I used to grow limnophilia sessiliflora in my 72G bow (with DIY CO2), and it was growing (literally) an inch a day.

Another nice one that doesn't grow quite so fast is Rotala rotundifiolia (I had very good luck with it, but never had much luck with Hygrophilia).

Nice plants. I really like the last 2 20's you posted.

I've been thinking of diving into the live plants. Want to get some java fern for my driftwood and anything else that the plecs or silver dollars won't eat. Any Suggestions?

Anubias nana (for small tanks) and Anubias barteri (for large tanks) are low light, slow growing, easy to keep plants that fish won't eat.

Cryptocorynes are also nice plants, low(ish) light, slow growing, but are a little harder to keep (don't like being transplanted, and may take some time to acclimate). Not sure if your fish will eat them (none of my fish ever did).
