Growing sword plants.

[Mettle]

I don't get it. I try it in my regular tanks and I have nothing but troubles. (Or I have had nothing, up until ONE that is finally surviving in my 38 gallon now! Whee!) But I got two cheapy swords a while back now and tossed them into my turtle tank, which has a thick covering of duckweed, and maybe about 30w of light on it, and VOILA, they're doing fantastic. I just don't get it.  :roll:

what other plants do you have growing in the tank?

AFAIK echinodorus's generally need some mulm in the gravel, they are getting the nutrients from it.

Generally I put some root tabs for echinodoruses and crypto's.
I'll try Flourite with the next tank I'm setting up.
