I've never had any of those fish, so I don't know for sure, but I think you could put corys in there, you'd have to ask around though. Wish I could be more help

get some java fern and amazon sword. they are both nice IMO and don't need a huge amount of light.

you have a lot of options fish wise .. any fish classified as peaceful can go with what you have now, if you like some that are semi-agressive id research the fish 1st

Correct on the java fern, but is that the case with amazon sword? I am currently looking for another plant species that can thrive under low lighting condition and grows faster than anubia (sp?). I don't like java moss in non-breeding setup so currently, I only have the java fern as the option...

It would be great if amazon sword doesn't require much light (that's less than 1w/g)...

In my experience, sword plants require at least medium light. I have a couple red melon swords and some pygmy chain sword that are growing well, but the leaves are slightly transparent and etoliated at 1.8WPG, with them situated directly below the light. Swords are also demanding substrate-wise, they are root feeders and will quickly show deficiencies in plain gravel. For true low light, stick with java moss and fern, crypts, anubias, etc.

Yup that's what I thought... Thanks for the info.

What i recomded for plants is lilly pads i have 2 in my tank fish love them for hiding and every year they grow a flower on top! i jus went to wal-mart and by the fish stuff the r some balbs look at the names on set is lily pads. They are only $3 and u get 3 balbs. You jus drop thm in the tank and in a few days they start growing.
