Pics of my Heavily Planted tank. Feedback?

[Vitaliy]

hehe mine is worse. i got 2 bamboo plant thingys on each end and a pot in the middle.

anywho, can you gimme some names of those plants and where i can get them? my local petsmart and petco has crap plants and their largest piece of driftwood is like 8' inches.

Many online stores like Drs Foster and Smith sell plants right online, they will also send you a free catalog. But do read up on plant keeping and do not expect to stick them in the water and watch them grow.

that's not heavy! (maybe for a malawi tank)

i think it looks much better to use much of the same type of plats instead of different ones. pick one or two at the most and plant 10 or so of those and let them grow... just my 2 cents

It might take a while for the plastic plants to grow so don't hold your breath waiting.

hahaah. I was thinking that. I was gonna try real plants but don't have the time. I should have named the thread more accurately.

What are the names of the plants on the right? Flower looking ones...

The redish ones? If so, I think they may be Pogostemon stellata, but thats just me looking up the image of the plants he has from the list above.
