The Ruffle and Rubin swords will over take your tank in 3 mons.
My advice to anyone who's even thinking about large swords is
DON'T!!!!! I spent the better part of this afternoon disengaging what I thought was one Ruffle. Turned out to be two and the roots, the freakin' roots where all over the tank. I uprooted half my tank pulling them out. TOO BIG, unless you have a 100 gal. or bigger, IMO. Also, the jungle val will get very long, eventually shading out portions of your tank. The price looks good, but I personally would look for a selection of smaller plants.
