In another thread earlier today I wrote...

>>>
It is always difficult to recommend a plant without knowing how big the tank is, what the water chemistry parameters are, if CO2 injection is a possibility and most importantly, how much light you have over the tank.

...?

My tanks completly cycled and has no amonia/nitrite the nitrate if fiarly high though between 40-80ppm but i dont think its harmfull yet

next as i said above my tanks is a 37 gallon (tall)

co2 enjection dont have a clue what ur talking about im new to plants lol

and the light i guess is just the light in the hood wich is a floresent light not sure how many watts but it the 37 gallon tall from wally world if that helps lol.

look around tropica i say (turn off your light and look at it for the watts)

20 watt floresant light hehe

For your basic lighting, stick with tough low light plants like anubias and java fern. If you want anything that needs medium to high light, you'll have to upgrade your lighting.

Look into corkscrew vallis. It seems easy and right for your fish too.
