Hello everyone,
So I have this shallow tank project on the back-burner (100x30x25). Still haven't got the tank built but that just takes a week or two from the manufacturer. Anyway, I am looking for advise regarding plants selection. What I want is for the tank to convey a simple and natural feel while being a low maintenance tank. For that reason I want to limit the amount of types of plants. Only constraint I have is that I need to use all my bucephalandra collection that are in my 60cm nursing tank (maybe 7 ou 8 varieties) as I will be retiring that tank. Perhaps the bucephalandra coud be used for the mid-ground. For the foreground I wanted to use Eriocaulon as a carpeting plant (maybe 2 or 3 varieties that have similar requirements). For the background I am unsure what to use. I want to use only one type of plant that will basically go all the way from left to right. A moderately fast growing plant will probably be a good idea but not sure what to chose.
Any comments or advice on the plant selection?
Thank you.
