So I have this list, but I want to be sure I'm not doubling up on plants that look very similar or won't work in my tanks. Most of them are intended for my 45 (24" tall) but some will go in a 10 (12" depth) and a 15-tall (18" depth). The 45 has sand substrate with a T5NO dual-bulb fixture (low-moderate), the 10 and 15 both have T8 single bulb fixture (20" length) with gravel substrate.
Corkscrew vals
Variegated Bacopa
Banana plant (sm)
Water Sprite (Lace Leaf Fern)
Cryptocorynes Blassii
Giant Hygro
Brazilian pennywort
Cardamine
Aponogetons Ulvaceus
Moneywort
I'm wondering about the variegated bacopa and moneywort? I guess moneywort is also a bacopa? What's the difference between the two? Most info I'm finding on them says they are medium lighting but I know I've been told they do well in low light.
I'm also wondering about the pennywort and cardamine, are these as similar looking as they seem in pictures? Which is easier? Better?
Banana plants I'm getting just because they're cute, the crypt, hygro, aponogetons, water sprite, and vals are meant solely for my 45, the rest will mostly be divided between the 10 and 15 (with a few 'shorter' plants saved for the 45).
Any tips on these or recommendations for other plants is greatly appreciated! Currently, the 45 has a few corkscrew vals and watersprite, a couple broad leaf anubias, some windelov ferns, and some moss. The 10 and 15 both have tons of hornwort and moss with some duckweed. I'm wanting to get rid of a lot of the hornwort but need to replace it with something, so I might put some water sprite in the 15 also.
Any other 'bushy' plants that work well for fry cover? Both the 15 and 10 have guppies
