Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I am just starting to look into plants for my aquarium now and am looking for a some opinions. After spending some time on plantgeek I updated my previous plant list to include a few more med-high/high light plants. I have no idea what combination of these I want to use, but I am starting to get a pretty good idea. I'll maybe post some pictures within the next while of the current setup (with no plants).
Some base information about my tank.
Possible Plants
Background Plants
-----------------
Hygrophila salicifolia
Vallisneria
Cyperus helferi
Mid Plants
-----------------
Hygrophila Corymbosa
Amazon Sword [Echinodorus bleheri]
Dwarf Hairgrass [Eleocharis acicularis]
Anubias barteri v. ' nana'
Foreground Plants
-----------------
Microsword [Lilaeopsis Brasiliensis]
Riccia [Riccia fluitans]
Glosso [Glossostigma elatinoides]
Floating Plants
-----------------
Water Hyacinth [Eichhornia crassipes]
I don't plan on including all of these, especially at the start. I happened to find these ones intriguing.
If anyone has a favorite plant or any recommendations I would be glad to hear them! Also if people have any of these plants in their tanks I would be interested to see some pictures or just hear about how they are growing and a little about their setup.
Also, would it be possible to recreate anything like this? It is a 15g tank that I find amazing!
