I have a 29 that I am setting up. It will have 3 ID sharks, 3 tinfoil barbs, 3 danios, 2 otto cats, and some snails. I want this to be heavily aqua scaped. What plants do you suggest? How many of each? Any tips? I have flora-boost that I can use to help it out, as well as good lighting, but I don't want plants that will die with low light.
Planted Tank help...

So you say you have low light??
if so u would be good with any of the anubias species. There hardy, but the down side is that they grow really slowly.

they're going to grow like 2ft...and then...?
Anibus,Aponogenton,Java fern,dwarf onion grass,Diandra(if kept pruned),and wendetii-- I started live plants in a 29 long w/ no Co2 had minimal success.
I started with spears , red ludwiga, borneo ferns, madagascar lace, hair grass , and few others ......long story short added Co2 plants grew so big you couldn't see the fish and snuffed out the low growing plants.....moved the big plants to a 150 and theres plenty of room for the fish so be careful what you buy 29 long's not a big tank for plants or fish.
