I think this is now your 4th thread on keeping plants.

I haven't read the other threads. If you use a neutral natural gravel in your tank and provide it with 10 hours of light per day virtually any aquatic plant will grow. Be aware that a lot of plants are grown terrestrially and will loose their leaves when placed in water. The stems will grow new aquatic leaves eventually. I have never used Ferts. and rely on the fish to provide the nutrients for the plants. This is the reason I don't vacuum my substrate.

Yeah my tank is understocked. I have sand. I think ferts will help before the baby guppies grow up.
