[mrvillicus]

Hi guys, im starting a new 4ft fluval roma 240 tank and in it will be 20 columbian tetra, 6 melini corydoras, 4 angels, 1 green severnum. Substrate will be fine gravel. Im after a plant that is very low maintenance, doesnt need much light, is BIG and large leaved as I will need osme plantation but I would ideally need to have just a few of the plants to create hiding places etc

If you can attach to wood or rocks, some of the broader leaved anubias could work well as would java fern.... probably the easiest to care for plants ariound really.... something like hygro polysperma for a substrate plant?.
