Just an update on my plants. The grass was not doing well, it hasn't grown at all and it has gone kinda hard and pieces were breaking off. I am thinking it is not salt tolerant. I've gotten rid of it.
I have cut the wisteria up on the stems and now have four plants of two stems each, I hope they grow okay. I also segmented the anubias into two, being careful to keep at least three leaves on each part of the rhizome - but I may have messed up, as the piece with large leaves (including one which only unfolded this week and is quite big) only has one root coming out the other end! Ooops... but it is a healthy, new shoot of a root. I hope it doesn't die, as this is the nicest plant and I hope to propgate the hell out of it. I've put all the "baby" wisterias (little stringy things) I found in the betta tank and I hope one of them grows, otherwise provided things go well I should have plenty of wisteria for both tanks soon enough. I also found mr snail, dead floating at the top of the tank. I haven't seen any others. Fingers crossed he was the only one.

Found three tiny snails today crawling around on my fake rock... killed them all. But I'm sure there will be more.. sigh.

Please do not take this part of my response as anything but an attempt at West Texas Humor but Ron is both but also I think that "you got the hang of it now" based on Quote:

Only seen once snail since (and I've been looking), and he's gotten quite big. Almost cute. If I don't start seeing more, I'll keep him.
I think I did something wrong with cutting the wisteria. The stem part that got cut went brown rather than continuing to grow, and some leafy regrowth has come out - but I'm not sure if it's from the stump or from the nearby leaves. Anubias rhizomes haven't gotten bigger that I can see, but the plants seem healthy.

There are more snails, little buggers. I have some snail rid stuff just in case, but I'm not going to use it unless I get an infestation. My cut wisteria has grown different leaves. I like them and I'm wondering how I can make more plants like that. One of my other cut wisterias (just a stalk really) is dead, but the others (stems mostly) are growing fine and have new runners into the gravel. So it appears the best propgation method is cut the tops off and relpant them. But I'm most interested in these new leaves.
Here's a picture (looks a bit yellow and dying in the photo, but it's really not).
