I just started a little 10 gallon aquarium.

Now, I'm a noob, and just picked some plants willy-nilly. I got a melon sword, an onion, and three marimo balls because that's what the pet store had that day. I wanted a couple more so I ordered some java moss and a hornwort.

Is the hornwort going to take over my little tank? Lol.
What other plants should I get?

I also get the feeling that my tank's lighting isn't adequate for plants. The tank came with "full spectrum" LEDs. Are my plants gonna die of light starvation?

Thanks for the input!
 
i'm not sure what the fixture is, but low light plants such as java fern and anubias are always the safe bets. i'm assuming you got the starter 10gal kit correct?
 
Yes, I got the kit that comes with pretty much everything. Lol.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm familiar with java fern but I'll have to look up the Anubias. I don't know that one. :)
 
Is it the three little led light strip type thing???because if it is thats what I got too and I think your plants should be ok...I'm not to sure about the melon sword or the onion plant though
