Noah, start a new thread in the planted tanks forum. Tell us all about your tank, lighting, water, planned fish & substrate...well, everything! I'm all about easy low tech plants...but anacharis isn't on MY list, it doesn't grow well for me & never has for long...that's why we need to know more than, as someone said, 2 sticks arranged nicely. You should get to a pretty tank for much less than $125 & some patience...we'd love to help you!
