 CS> I have one now, partly a fish tank but mostly plants for the big

Hydrofilia  is a fast growing plant that reproduces well, and is easily 
edible.  For a cover plant, I would suggest watersprite.  It can be rooted, 
where it will grow up to the surface, or it can float.  Good hidding for fry, 
and darn attractive to boot! :)
 CS> I'm also still considering that 3rd tank and what to do with it. 
 CS> Don (Hubby) wants largish angel fish but it's a mere 20 gallon size
 CS> or so and I am not familiar with what to mix to create my first
 CS> true 'community tank'.                                       
I don't think I would put more than two angels in a 20g.  A small school of 
neons or cardinals is quite attractive, and you can mix these well with other 
species that like slightly acidic waters.  May I suggest a couple of Rainbow 
Cichlids?  They are the friendliest things around, and mine never bothered 
the cardinals, or any of the smaller fishes.  They also reproduce well in 
captivity, and are very easy to care for.
