That is a lot of plants but if you think about how much tank bottom space will exist between plants then maybe it's not so many. Here in the US, a 4 ft long tank can be anywhere from 13 inches to 2 tf from front to back. I'm not quite sure which size you are dealing with but if it's the larger tank, that may just be enough plants. A quick calculation shows thgat each plant would "own" 9+ square inches of substarte in the larger tank and about 5 square inches of substrate in the smallest ft tank. Figure every 3 x 3 inch square gets one plant and it doesn't seem to be so many.
