Here is the tank.

l 80 x h 40 x w 40 cm = 2.6 x 1.3 x 1.3 feet
pH 7, soft water, temperature 24C = 75F
70% sand / 30% gravel
1x 18W daylight fluorescent. Not possible to add lighting.
Fishes: panda corys and glowlight danios.


I think that java fern on the right doesn't look good enough and I'd like to replace it with something. But what would survive in low lighting? It would also need to be quite hight so it will hide the filter. Is there any suitable plant?

ive got this plant called val(tapegrass) in my 3ft amazon scene tank it grow pretty high and doesnt need much lighting.

I like how vallisneria looks and I had it before. The problem with it was that it grew too high and stole light from other plants. But good suggestion, thanks. It would have been perfect shaped.

I'm thinking if there is any suitable cryptocoryne?

Try - Cryptocoryne wendtii … brown , grows to around 20cm easy to keep and has a nice colour.
Cryptocoryne x willisii … lucens, grows to 25 cm +, again easy to grow.
Cryptocoryne Balansae , 30cm +, again easy to grow.
