I have a 20 gal tall aquarium with the standard 18w T8 bulb, full spectrum daylight, 8,000k florescent bulb. I'll probably upgrade at some point but right now that's what I have. No CO2 and I have ferts (Flourish) but haven't dosed them yet.

I have some live plants (the standard lowlight Anubias, Windelov, Java Moss and Java Fern) and like the look of them as opposed to fake, so I'd like to get more.

A bonus would be some reddish, etc plants so the tank isn't all green.
Also I'd like some taller plants for the background if anyone has them.

Here's a list of low-light plants I found; any of these would be great:

Java Fern - Microsorum pteropus
Crypt Wendtii - Cryptocoryne wendtii
Crypt Balansae - Cryptocoryne Balansae
Pygmy Crypt - Cryptocoryne pygmaea
Guppy Grass - Najas guadalupensis
Coffee leaf anubias - Anubias barteri v. 'coffeefolia'
Crypt retrospiralis - Cryptocoryne retrospiralis
Crypt spiralis - Cryptocoryne spiralis
Red Java fern - Microsorum pteropus "red"
African Water Fern - Bolbitis heudelotii
Crypt Aponogetifolia - Cryptocoryne aponogetifolia
Hornwort - Ceratophyllum submersum

Thanks in advance!
