African Plants?

[Amaroq]

Does anybody know of some hardy preferably African plants? The plants will have to be able to live under low to medium lighting levels and has to be able to live without any CO2 or supplements. Ive read Bolbitis heudelotii is quite hardy and would live in my tank i also read that Anubias is a hardy plant but Ive been reading around and i think I'm getting mixed information a few sites say they cant live without supplements and CO2 other sites say they can...can some one tell which one is right? I was also thinking of doing a moss wall for the back of the tank because the tank is right in front of a window and the moss wall will block out the sun meaning i wont have as much algae right? and plus they look awesome, any suggestions?

Thanks,
Spencer

Anubias and bolbitis are reall hardy plants. They don't need co2. To much light is even bad for the anubias, it is such a slow grower that it will be coverd in algea in no time.

Anubias are great for this setup. Bolbitis is ok, but does better in moderate to high lighting. All plants need nutrients, it is just that some are less needy than others.

Anubias do great in high lighting.
