when you say "onion plants", do you mean crinum thaianum? if so, where'd you get it?

yep thats it 8)  against my better judgement i got 4 of them from petsmart, they look really good. they started with just a few leaves, but the quickly grew. the biggest 1 is over 24"tall, and has 10 leaves.they were like $649each. there is a petco that had some really nice 1's, like 11 leaves per plant, really healthy, for $3.99
i bought em 8)   but most petsmarts carry them. the 1 i got these at still has some, they get them in regualry. they are the petsmart on 249 and 1960, in the phonebook they are the petsmart on tomball Parkway. give em a call im sure thehave some.

Nice set-up!  I really liked the way that you aquascaped the rocks vs. the "onion" plants.  I would be more than happy to take the fern off of you 'cause it would look nice in my tank  I only offer as I think that it may not be a true aquatic fern  :(

Re: Pics of My 75G Malawi Mbuna Tank

the fern is truly aquatic :)  i got it at Houston Aquatics on 1022 N. Sheperd Dr., they have some really cool plants for good prices, i am going to get some vals from them :)
