i don't think u want vallisnerias nor most common sags anyways..the one i have hasn't spread either, and now that it grows emersed its huge!
you may want to consider something else..i have one plant in my mind but the names is gone..i will remember eventually! :P

Remembered! Cypherus helferii is nice, has the vallisneria look and stays short, and its really easy!! :)

What is the regular big kind? Anyway I think hairgrass would be too dwarfed in a 90 gallon Dutch.

Nick, there are over a hundred species of Eleocharis (hairgrass), from tiny to very very large. Some of the larger ones may be nice in a 90g. If Becca doesn't have any, check with Sean. He might have collected some larger ones...

I don't have any. I had some in a 100 gallon metaframe a while back and it was doing well, but didn't make it outside in a stock tank after the tank sprung a leak. One of these days I'll give it another try.
