New tank set up added some plants and got a few more to plant in later. Not exactly sure of all the names of the plants as some was unlabeled, but I think they are:
Bacopa amplexicaulis
Rotala indica red
Java Fern
Java Moss
and one other unlabeled
I think the tanks looking good! Waiting for the cloudy water to settle now.

Hello. Your tank is looking great! The Anacharis is a floating plant and will grow much better floating close to the light. Here's a picture of a 55 gallon tank with some new Anacharis floating at the top on the left. It will eventually cover the entire surface of the tank, so it needs to thinned regularly or it will block the light from the bottom plants. I just clip it with a pair if scissors. Simply by thinning it every so often, will stimulate new growth. It will send roots to the bottom of the tank to help it stay in place.

10 Tanks (Now 11)

Thanks the anacharis looks great. I'm new to plants so was looking for easier hardy plants. I think the next addition will be some floating plants.

Might be a little late but I would use Jungle Vals, Cabomba, Pogostemon Octopus, and maybe Bacopa Monneiri if you like how they look
 
A little progress
