Please Help Dat/Arrow/Ray Tank

[blackdat13]

Just looking for some advice, I'm not an expert, just a growing enthused hobbiest, I've had arrowanas before but this is my first datnoid and ray. I'm looking for information on using real plants compared to fake. What plants can I use/what will work best with my trio, and what will I need to keep plants

3." Black Arrowana
3.5" Gold Datnoid
4" Hystrix Ray

Set Up:
125gl (long)
Riverstone substrate (small 3-5mm rounded and smooth)
2 Marineland 350's
1 Marineland C-360
30gl homemade Sump (bio-balls, ceramic tubes, carbon, floss/polishing pads, spongescrubbies)

I do water changes bi weekly. Ammonia and Nitrate test always come back fine, and I never have a problem with water clarity. I know I will most likely have to change the lighting but I'm looking just for some advice thanks

You have no chance of keeping plants in a ray tank

had some "anubia" aka nanas, the rays were munching on them none stop. Had plenty of floating nana ever since... after taking them away the tank now looks less green... any suggestion of better ways to introduce plants to the rays will be great.
