Awesome. :) I hope you get some good ones. I have been duped twice by plants that were sold to me as aquatic that weren't.

I am only buying the ones that I want-HC, dwarf hairgrass, and pogostemon helfiri.
 
just a note on the background, i de-rimmed a 10 gal and painted the back black and with the black substrate the colors of my cherry shrimp really pop! even though i did it to blend wires and such, the colors were an unexpected perk :)
 
I am going to move some of my micro sword in there to get it to grow better. I may just leave it in there
 
Here is the tank with the micro sword in it. I think my DW is almost done soaking.
 
One of my LFSs was out of stock today, but tomorrow they'll have HC and DHG.

oh yeah....they are such a great looking DW. I have one in one of my 10Gs..

Which one are you talking about? The tree stump shaped one, or the tree branches shaped one?
 
Yes, it is a carpeting plant. It needs high light, abundant nutrients, and CO2 injection and stays fairly short, spreading outwards. Thus it creates a "carpet" on the aquarium floor. HC stands for the scientific name: Hemianthus callitrichoides
