Thank you, sir. I had no idea how to plant the hairgrass and just stuffed it into the Eco Complete. I am planning my big maintenance day on this tank tomorrow and will break it up then. Thanks for the tip.
I've decided to pull about 80% of the rotala out and move it to the other tank. My Oscar doesn't tolerate the plants, but he's cleared everything (plastic plants, rocks and even SAND!!!) out of "his side" of the tank, so I've got the entier other side to play with. He rarely cruises over there, and when he does it's usually just to grab a pellet from the feeding hole. I'm going to leave the other 20% of the rotala where it is an move the bacopa infront of it.
I've already taken out one of the java ferns which I now realize was almost invisible in this shot - it's behind the cabomba about 1/2 way up the tank. Haven't had much luck with it or the other java fern towards the bottom. They just keep sending off plantlets which I'm tired of looking at. Just about every leaf has plantlets sprouting out of it. I think I'll leave the bottom fern there for now as it wasn't as bad as the other one.
I'll post another pic tomorrow after the rescape.
And thanks AlGee and fresh for the ID of the l.aromatica. I kinda like it although it's still small. I think I'll let it grow there for awhile
