Hi,
I have removed most of my plants and am left with one camomba (sp) and an amazon sword that were salvaged.

Tank stats are: 20 gallon, 1.5 wpg, dosed with daily easycarbo and ferts. At the moment slightly overstocked with platys and fry, pristellas, 1 khuli and 4 armano shrimp.

I want to find some plants that would be suitable and would apreciate some advice.
Ideally i want background taller plants, then mid, then fore. Preferably sticking to a max of 3 or 4 species all together.
I want to use java moss as a carpet and also covering rocks so a plant that would compliment that.
I thought maybe vallis but then heard some stories about that and easycarbo not mixing well.

So if anybody has some sugesstions what to buy it would be much much apreciated as i am stumped (they all look pretty similar to me :lol: )
Also photos/ inspiration would be useful

As long as you don't overdose easycarbo vallis will be fine - especially if you have high kH as vallis like to take their carbon from dissolved carbonate ions.

Swords or Java Fern as other tall options.
