Re: Will amazon swords survive under the bulb that came with the tank?
Ok, you have a 20g tank...any idea what type of bulb you got and what wattage?
The plants you listed are all mid to low light plants. They will do just fine at 1wpg or even less. The substrate you have is great to get the plants started and as long as you do weekly changes that may be all you need.
Be extra careful to plant the anubias in a shady area and do not plant the rhyzome completely under the gravel or it will rot. To promote growth of the sword remove all but 4-5 leaves and cut the roots down to about 1". If after a few weeks some of the plants turn a bit clear or yellow you can add a plant fertilizer like Flourish or root tabs as needed.
