as for plants yes they relocate them took that in consiteration when choosing plants and the way they are planted

water sprite
all planted floating plants weighted if they break a piece off new plant  or turtle food
java firn and moss attached to driftwood
onion plants they can move them around till the cows come home
jungle val weighted and covered by pile of river rock
swords for some reason love to lay in them multipling fast started with one 7 now
spiral val  pluged into plastic lid with lead weight, glass rock on top holding lid
when theres a will theres a way
so far so good
