Who Gives A Fish Forums

It's all good using a tape measure until the thing is in the room, I completely get that, I've been there too. Good luck with the tank hunting, by the way.

Thanks for the suggestions, matti. I've taken a look and I think I've got some options to consider.

I've got a mix of Java Moss, Java Fern, Anubius, and Hygrophila in with my baby oscar. I've heard that floating the Hygrophila and securing the other plants to rocks and driftwood should work out alright. The idea is to let the fish grow up in a planted environment. What's your take on this approach?
