I am looking for a good source for some anarchis/elodea or similar floating plants my betta can hang out in at the top of his tank. My local store has some but I really want a nice rich green sample.. not one that has brown leaves. Also is my 19w bulb going to be enough or should I upgrade? My moss balls are just fine.

It's a 10 gallon and I use Equilibrium but that's all the additives. No tank mates at this time. Debating some kind of algae eater tho.

I've looked into trying to replace the light. I guess Life Glo is a good one? But the bulb in the hood is 18" and the only 18" bulbs I can find anywhere are only 15w.. this one is at least 19.. so I would think it'd do better..

Thanks guys! I ended up biting the bullet and got an aquaticlife t5ho fixture. I'll pick up some additional moss balls and elodea soon :)

if you are still looking mikeswetpets on aquabid has great deals on his anarchis and what not, and low cost shipping. Sent me double what was advertised on the auction page.

Ooh.. thanks for the info on mikewetpets.. I was searching forever for hornwart, luckily found a really awesome breeder in one of my groups that is sending me a bunch for partial shipping. But will keep mike in mind for any future purchases :)

Thank you I'll check them out. :) I still may need to buy more if my plants don't bounce back.. I'll take some pics tomorrow night. They are not happy.. like I said some look REALLY good but most just plain black.. that can't be good..
