More plants and stuff

[shrimpandram]

After adding some plants in my tank, I still didn't feel GOOD amount of plants in my tank. Do you guys have any recommendation plants or fish? ( mostly looking for fish that doesn't bother rcs )
I have c02 and led light running on ADA soil.

I would take the stem plants and put them in groups. As they grow tall, trim and replant at the edge of each group. IMO this is a more natural look.
I would add more color in the form of red plants: Alternanthera reineckii (mini or regular), Ludwigia species 'red', Rotala macrandra.

Is that better?

Yes.
I see the rock placed on HC. I tried to keep the HC Cuba in my tank down but the snails kept uprooting them. I even glued them to small stainless steel mesh squares with some success. I find it to be a slow grower.

OK I will try to do it like you guys did but I heard other people to rocks on top of the hc and take them off when they start rooting.

They will send out runners containing miniature plants (as seen in the pic you provided). You can either allow the runners to "roam free" throughout the tank or replant them where you want them to be.

How long does it take for new plant grow with normal lighting?

Hard to say. Depends on the available ferts and CO2/Carbon. Maybe 3-4 weeks.

Yeah, give them a couple weeks. Soon enough that Dwarf Sag will be exploding in growth.
