Aquarium Advice FINatic
Looking for help. Recommendations requested for good colorful and beginner-worthy plants for a 40 breeder. Suggestions for a good light that won't break the bank is also needed
With good lighting you can grow a variety of plants. Water sprite, wisteria, swords, crypts, Hydro's, bacopa, val's, dwarf sag, and ambulia are all easy beginner plants. If you have driftwood you can attach anubia, java fern (both regular or wendilov) and mosses such as java moss.
