Amazon biotope plants

[OTp1144]

So I currently have 1 RTC and 3 peacock bass all still pretty small, under 10", and was wanting to turn it in to a planted amazon biotope.

Looking for suggestions for good plants to add to the tank.

I currently have a wall of elodea on the back of the tank as kind of a backdrop, but thats all thats in there for now.

Swords, grass and some ground cover, maybe clover and lots of dw for a brownish tint.

Those are some pretty big fish for a planted tank...

I would maybe go for plants you can anchor to decorations or something, since one flick of a tail from any one of those fish would likely uproot your plants...

Maybe things like anubias would be good so you can tie them to driftwood? Plus, being a low light plant they are easy to maintain...

I would think once amazon swords get established they anchor pretty good and could withstand pbass and an RTC.

With a RTC banging aorund in the tank, floaters might be your best bet. Either hornwort or pennywort would work.
