As you guys know, I'm getting some apisto's in the next month or two. I would really like a nicely planted tank. At my tank has around six different types of plants but I feel I need more! I would preferably like 4-5 more plants. 2 to be slow growing plants, and 3 to be big bushy plants! I might get a amazon sword, but then I want fast growing plants which are really fine leafed. (does that make sense?) anyways I have moderate lighting so don't think I want any plants which need strong light. This is what I want my underwater world to look like! If you can suggest any names ( commonly used and official names) of the plants or similar looking plants please do :) thanks a bunch !
 
It helps to know what you already have before trying to suggest other plants. What type lighting and bulbs are you using?
 
Okay, I'll try and remember the names ! I'm using the t8bulbs I think? Umm here it goes: echinodorus rubes, cryptocoryne wentail brown and anubias barteri nana. Oh and eleocharis parvula. Those were on the labels. I have another 2 but I don't know what they are. Here's a picture of the plants I like :)

You've got medium low light if you have 2 bulbs. Try watersprite, wisteria, rotala indica (roundifolia), bacopa's, stargrass, diandra, green temple just to name a few. For slow growing there are tons of various anubia's, different types of java ferns, and bolbitus.
