I have bought some more plants to fill the gaps of the plants I have lost. I decided to get plants to try and hide the box that stores the filter, heater and pump in, and to get some plants that will be low growers.
Vallisneria gigantea (Giant Vallis) - The long, fleshy leaves of this Vallisneria may reach up to a metre in length and will trail across the surface. Ideal for hiding boxes or equipment. Best grown at the back of the tank. As the leaves will trail across the surface, it can block out the light to lower growning plants, so it will have to trimmed to size.
Cryptocoryne petchii - This crypt is ideal for the foreground of the aquarium where it will spread via daughter shoots borne on runners.
