And here's the 5g Betta tank

Nope, well, I say no, because it was sold as Cabomba. (sp?)

Looking at the pic taken a few days ago and comparing it to the tank today, you can actually see that it has grown. It's supposed to need more light from what I read, but this plant doesn't seem to know that.

Or maybe PetSmart has it misidentified.
 
That is absolutely cabomba. Anubias looks nothing like that.

Speaking of which, may you fair better with cabomba than we have. It needs really bright light and lots of gentle care and pruning. Such a pretty plant though.
 
yep, thats cabomba

nice looking tank too, nice scape

that anachris on the right is going to take over the tank, lol
 
I love the little rock thing. You didn't do that did you?
