So I recently set up my first aquarium, and was only planning on having anubias and a moss ball as far as live plants go, so I just have a sand substrate and the regular light that came with my aqueon hood, I believe it's 17w on a 20g long.
After setting it up and doing more research I decided that I really love the look of live plants, and really want more. My LFS just got a huge shipment of plants in, so I'm planning on checking them out this weekend, but was wondering what would do okay in my tank conditions?
I recently got some water wisteria, which is the only plant so far that is in the substrate. I ordered some Flourish root tabs that will be here tomorrow for it.
What other plants would be okay in low light with a sand substrate? Would I need to use liquid fertilizer, or would root tabs be fine?
A couple plants I've been looking at are anacharis and jungle val.
