Hi,
I would like to add some more plants to my tank . Particularly something for ground cover and possibly a couple of dwarf Anubias (not yet decided). I would like to know if anyone has some plant suggestions and also if it is possible to plant whilst the aquarium is full of water (any tips or video suggestions for the best way to do this if it is possible). My Amano's appear to be sensitive to changes in water so I am worried about removing a large amount water in one go.
If I do need to remove the majority of the water, I'm guessing its best to keep most of the water taken out and put it back into the tank so that effectively when the water goes back in it will be like a small water change?
Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

- Lighting - x1 Fluval Halogen bulb and x1 6500k cool white led bulb
- Filtration - Fluval Edge HOB, pre-filter sponge, foam, biomax and carbon (I am considering the benefits of adding some more filter sponge to the filter)
- Substrate - Fluval plant and shrimp stratum
- Decor - Natural wood from LFS (possibly azalea wood) and glimmer wood, x1 Almond leaf
- Fertilisation - NT Labs Plant boost (Using sparingly as prior to adding shrimp, daily dosing seemed to be causing an algae outbreak)
- Liquid Carbon - NT Labs Liquid CO2 boost (stopped using since I added the shrimp)
- Livestock - x2 Amano shrimp
- Planting - x1 dwarf crypt, limnopjila heterophylla, and Aponogeton ulvaceus (which I think will be too big for the tank)
- There is also a small airstone
