I am wondering what sort of plants to put in - I am hoping to buy my plants today! I have the day off work at last.
I have mostly stuck to java fern and anubias nana in a throw 'em in and forget 'em kind of capacity, but I'd like to have more diverse shapes and maybe something with a little different color.
I am not dosing ferts so I figured I should have some sort of stem plants to keep algae from growing. I know I want java moss, a few more ferns, and another anubias plant. What else would work in my set-up?
BTW I have driftwood and one porous rock.
