Plant Suggestions?

[BettaBoysGirl]

I'm having a tough time deciding. I am currently cycling a tank that I'm going to put Bettas in. Its. 20 gallon Long, with normal aquarium gravel. It will also have moderate lighting (when I get the light, currently has low.) I know I will be planting Anubias nana in the front, suggestions for the back? This is where the bettas will go so as not to be seen by their neighbors if they choose. They have little caves there too. So, any suggestion of tall plants that don't get super bushy that I could stick there? 1-2 large plants each, maybe 3. I don't plan to do CO2.the spaces are 7.5"Lx12"Hx12"D.

Thanks!

What do you mean by moderate lighting? Can you give us the watts per gallon? Plants that grow very well in normal gravel, just using some roottabs are vallisneria, it gets very bushy, almost like a jungle.

The wats will be between 2 and 2.5 watts per gallon. Depends on my final selection. I currently grow a moderate light plant under the 2 gallon one. The thing is, I don't want super bushy. I want tall and lean.

Cryptocoryne retrospiralis or Cryptocoryne "balansae" could be suitable choices if you can insert some root tablets in your substrate.

They grow tall are are graceful. They do not create bushes when planted sparingly.
