What plants to get?

[Guggiboy123]

Hey guys I will be getting plants for my 20 gallon long tank. This is the first time I'm going to be planting a tank. I have low to medium light, and I would like your suggestions on some hardy plants that don't need a lot of light

I would say amazon swords, anacharis, Anubis nana, you could try jungle vale also, java moss and hornwort

What type of light and bulbs do you have? Water sprite, wisteria, crypts, corkscrew val (is better is a shorter smaller tank than jungle val), dwarf sag, four leaf clover (not the dwarf), ambulia, micro or chain sword, without knowing your lights pearlweed (baby tears) is questionable.

Also what type ferts are you using? Are you using any liquid carbon like Excel?

I believe the light is a zoo med t-5 HO flora sun max plant growth fluorescent bulb (24 watts )

Then you should be able to do pearlweed but place it where is gets the most light if possible.
