can ppl plz give me advice on the plants im thinking of getting. i've got a big list of possibilities, but i'm not sure which are the best for my 5 gallon hex tank with 15 watts of lighting.

5 gallon: 2 white clouds, 1 black neon
ph: 7.2 ppm, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate: all 0,
KH: 3 degrees dKH, GH: 4 degrees dGH
75 degrees fahrenheit/ 25 degrees celsius

plants i may get:

background:
hornwort * will this grow too fast for my tank?
Hygrophila difformis
Hygrophila polysperma
Rotala Indica

foreground:
Cryptocoryne beckettii ''petchii''
Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Tropica'
Anubias barteri var. nana
Echinodorus parviflorus 'Tropica'
Echinodorus tenellus
Eleocharis acicularis
Sagittaria subulata

floating:
Lemna minor

java moss and java fern attached to driftwood

also, which of these plants can i plant in flower pots, so i can bury the pots in the gravel?
 
java fern wont attach to bog wood but will look nice in front of a peice of bog wood.the moss is nice but it takes a while to attatch itself to the wood. im not the leading expert on plants so will leave it at that. sounds really nice tho is there a chance of a pic when your done. im thinking of adding more plants to my aquariums so sill be watching to pick up some ideas :)
 
i've tried a couple time 2 take pics of my tanks, but unfortunately im not good at photographing them :( they've all turned out either unfocused or have my reflection in them.

i'll keep trying and maybe one day one uv em will turn out :p
