Just the sacrificial plants; cuttings of ludwigia repens and hydrocotyle, and some dwarf saggitaria that did what sag does when you ship it…turn brown. Roots are good, though. The vals looked bad, and they spread too far and fast for a 10g, so they’re in a bucket with the rest of the sag. Once the “real” plant order arrives, I’ll attach an Anubias ‘Nana’ to the driftwood  (currently weighted with a rock because that end isn’t quite waterlogged), a couple of crypts, and maybe a dwarf sword (but maybe not because it doesn’t want bright light…might stick it in a dim corner in the 55 instead). Maybe some bacopa…dunno yet. Anyway the ludwigia looks okay, pennywort is sparse, but it’s a fast grower, and if the sag perks up and spreads, it’ll make a nice “lawn”. It’s progress, at least.

Oh, and a few bits of duckweed, which I don’t mind because this tank has no filter, and bettas like to use floating plants to anchor buggle nesks.
