Well my first batch of plants arrived form Tropical-aquarium-plants, i have to say im very pleased they were very healthy. Anyway my tank is a standard 24" 15g(UK) with one 18" Arcadia FW tube and one 18" interpet daylight plus. Along with about 3mm gravel about 2-2 1/2" deep. With tetraplant liquid fert and tabs. No CO2.

My plants are as follows:
-Tiger Lotus
-Java fern/Java moss
-Vallis, Red
-Crypts W???

My other 10 plants should arrive soon as their was a flood. Anyway they all seem to be Mid-ground plants, what other plants could i have? For fore-ground, mid-ground and b-ground? Common names please.

Cheers, Adam.

Willow moss (Clod water?) (£2 / clump)
Marsilea Quadrifolia (£1.50 / chain)

(can grow towards the light or behave and stay bushy as in picture).

Hemianthus Callitrichoides (£3.75 / large pot)
Small Cryptocorynes (Parva, Lutea, Lucens, etc) (£14.50 / pot luck bunch of 5)
Anubia Petite Nana
(will grow attached to rocks or bog wood, and can look very decorative)

Midground
Mid-sized Crypts (Wendtii, others, excellent plant)
Barclaya Longifolia (can get big, can also behave)
Nymphaea species (must be taught to behave, otherwise a background plant)
Anubias (Barterii, Coffeefolia, Barterii Var Nana, others)
