I want to know what I should plant the tank with. It is a 75 gallon tank with 64w of t8, so fairly low light, and I'd like to stick at least loosely to a congo river basin biotope. The anubias on the left has been destroyed by congo tetras. They eat the new leaves as they appear. I've had other plants in there, they don't bother anything but anubias, and they don't bother the anubias on the right as much.

Exposure here is set a tad too low, so it looks dimmer than it is.

I would add some java fern and attach it to some drift wood in the back. It'll stay nice and green.

Last time I tried java fern I somehow managed to kill it. That and I think it's ugly because it gets those plantlets growing on its leaves. Also i think it's SA.
