Plant Suggestions Please!

[corinne]

Hello,

I recently upgraded my planted 10gal to a 20gal and I need some suggestions for new plants. Currently I have Java Ferns, Java Moss (growing on drift wood), some brownish red plants which I believe are crypts, water wisteria and Hornwort (the nasty tall plant I want to replace). I have basic black sand as substrate that I supplement with Flourish Tabs and liquid plant food. I have Marineland's LED Double Bright light system and no CO2.

I need a tall background plant and some sort of a filler to replace the Hornwort. Any Suggestions?

Fish:
3 Kuhli Loaches
2 Yoyo Loaches
6 Cardinals
2 Corydoras
2 White Clouds

If you want something more bushy then wisteria will grow well under pretty much any conditions, with no extra ferts or whatever needed

Oof you got that right, my wister will not stop growing...no amount of trimming will ever slow that thing down!
Green cabomba looks a lot like hornwort, so if you want something else, go for maybe some tiger lotus or some straight or corckscrew val...some bunches of that will look very nice

I started off with one teeny wee plant and now the 35L is full of it and I've got some in the 180L too hahahaha
