Looking for a good plant...

jbrianchamberlin · 09-23-2009, 03:11 PM

I'm looking for something that will grow tall and thick... provide some shade etc. I've got some amazon swords in the back of my tank but I need something else that compliments them. I see a lot of nicely planted tanks online but rare know what plants they are.

Jungle Val, Jungle Val Red, Crinum Thaianum (onion plant), Nymphaea Stellata (Dwarf Lily), Cryptocoryne Spiralis. Once your wisteria grows taller you can clip and replant that. Then again you can add another sword like a Red Rubin or Kleiner Bar.

X2 on what Dan says, but I have never gotten a good red val so be sure and get it from someone that has healthy plants.

Dan, do you sell these? May have to try getting some from you.
