I look at my tank, which I now feel comfortable saying I can manage ferts/algae/CO2. But I still have that blah feeling because all of my plants are shades of green. My rotala gets red when it reaches the surface (I assume due to lower nitrAtes), but that's it.
I have stargrass, java fern, anubias, moneywort, christmas moss, lace java fern, sunset hygro (again all green because I have ample nitrAtes), Riccia, and another plant I can never remember the name. But they are all just shades of GREEN!
Does anyone have some colorful plants that are not difficult to grow? I have ~4wpg lighting, and dose all ferts, so I'm covered on that angle. Soft water requiring plants will probably not do well in my tank (probably the only caveat I can think of).
Thanks!
EDIT:
Pic taken 2 minutes ago for reference. Yes I need to trim the stargrass (its been about 5 days since the last trim ). The tank normally is much brighter but the stargrass is starting to block a lot of the light:
