Looking For Tall Plants

[Andypalf]

Hi all. My 125L tank is currently planted with some amazon swords, a couple straight vallisneria and some very short vallisneria.
But the top 25 cm of the tank (it's 50cm tall) it bare and I'd really like to get something going on there. Can anyone suggest anything to occupy this void?

Cheers, Andy

You need some fast growing plants, these could be

Water Wisteria (quite dense so fills up a large area)
Elodea Densa
Cabomba Caroliniana
Any Hygrophilas
Limnophila sessiliflora

These are what i have in my 125L so there are lots more which im sure people will suggest

If you're after a stem plant, you could also try rotala rotundifolia. Some species of sword will grow to the top of that tank if they have the right conditions.

just be patient with the vallisneria mate, it will grow ! for sure very long as well!!!! filling up your background nicely.. just give the plants some TLC

I would recommend you Blyxa Aubertii, and Cyperus Helferi. These plants will grow tall, IMO.
