Looking For Something Colourful

[Geoff1991]

Right, im planting my tank and im looking for something with a bit of colour other than green.

Not really fussed what, maybe red leaved or something...

Background plant, which is quite dense as im trying to build up a fairly thick background of plants.

This is what i have so far,

As you can see, it needs work. Im going for a heavily planted forest like back. I have some egeria naja which ive just ordered on the way, also ive ordered this cave to replace my current one, [URL="http/www.aquaessentials.co.uk/index.php?...roducts_id=2998"]http/www.aquaessentials.co.uk/index.php?...roducts_id=2998[/URL]

Ive also ordered bogwood which i am going to replace those coloumns with. Ive also ordered 2 lots of java moss which i am going to plant on the bog wood and on PVC pipe to create a little tunnel.

Any suggestions welcome

Thanks

Oh and, im going to start dosing TPN+ when it gets here and I don't use co2. My lighting is 1 wpg... I'm also unsure whether to use co2 or not.

red plants will struggle, if you want to try then i would reccomend ludwigia repens, vallisneria "red" and echindorous "rubra"

Hmm, any suggestion of regular green plants then?

Actually there is some cryptocoryne species that are brown/ red which you could use,
