Well Robby, I've never tried Java Fern, although I've been informed by many 
aquarium hobbiest that Java Fern is a good plant to have in an aquarium. 
Water Lettuce is like a Lilly Pad...it floats on the surface of the water, 
and can grow around 5-6" in diameter. I have since removed all the Water 
Lettuce except for a few small plants that haven't shown any signs of algae. 
So far so good. They seem to be doing alright, I just hipe that they hurry up 
and grow up.
