Good Background Plants

[BIGT]

hello again, now that i hopefully got my delima straightend out with new gravel for plnts that should ne here at end of week and no using yeast on my co2 instead of the junk nutofin puts in there packets ill be in right track.

my width side-side of tank is a bow front of aboutt 32". front to back is about 11.5" if that helps you guys out and again its th ebow front
this may be some help just throwing it in my filter is a 70 g filter i have 1 piece of malaysian drift wood so far.

to start out andwork my way up/into it i would like to start with background plants for right now. im not sure if im saying this right but i would like a full plant not a big bunch held together with a weight like wysteria looks nice but to much work constantly putting them back into a bunch for me. so if theres any real nice suggestions for a background plant anyone can think of let me know (and please use the short name for it not th ebig long fancy scientific name please so i know what your talking about.

if it would help i can even try to charge my camera and and get pics of my tank if they will help. i do have 1 pleco and 5 cory cats and quit a few rainbows if that helps in case them fish like to eat or tear apart some plants

there are any number of plants that could work, most stem planst will grow high up in the back ground, i like hygrophillia pollysperma (no short name that i know of#) and crypt crispatula.

its always good to use the latin names when talking about plants as there are many 'slang' names used for many different plants. If you order them on there slang names you may end up with plants you don't want. You can always google the latin name.

as for background...
