Hi I recent got a 20 gallon standard that in the process of cycling and I only have silk plants but I want to add real plants any recommendation I have like gravel substrate and don’t want to change it it would also be helpful if you could give me affordable place to buy the plants and again this is my first planted tank. I’m not sure if the fish I’m putting in the tank will make a difference but I’m put some African dwarf frog and one betta.

Look in the buy/sell/trade/free posts towards the bottom of the main forum page. You will find plants from members there.

Your welcome! You can get your plants anywhere. If you want to order online Online good retailers are live aquaria, aquatic arts, and Cory IMO, you can get the plants from a Local fish store or even your Petsmart or Petco. Here are some really helpful videos on planted tanks. ( I recommend watching . Also, girl talks fish has amazing videos. I am not her she is just a really good youtuber.) You can also find other very helpful videos on YouTube. For liquid fertilizer I recommend Nilocg liquid fertilizer or seachem liquid fertilizer. For root tabs I recommend seachem root tabs. For lightning finnex and nicrew are amazing brands.
