Plant Advice

Hi everyone. So i have started aquascaping on my 2nd fishtank! i have flourite on the bottom so its decent soil and i have ordered glossostigma as well. I am really trying to figure out what would be a good center plant. This is a shrimp tank, so i want something that really will open up with big leaves for the shrimp to hide under and feel safe.

Any suggestions are helpful thanks a lot!!!

How big is the tank?
For big leaves I would lean towards Swords but the leaves may be too high off of the substrate for the shrimp to feel too safe.
I would go with more stem plants like Wisteria or Ludwigia and bunch them closer together. Guppy grass also makes a good home for shrimp.
Really it just depends on what plants you like the look of and how much lighting etc. you have.
www.plantgeek.net has a nice plant guide with lots of pics and requirements for good growth.
