My tank is a small 7gal, and so far I have one Anubias, One Java fern with daughters growing, and 2 small ambulia clusters I trim and grow, Was just wondering if there are any other broad leaved plants like the anubias I could add to my tank.

I want to plant it up some more and make nice natural hiding spots if I do, and anyway just to decorate, decide on getting a kuhli loach or maybe ottos? (May have typo'd that name)

For the wattage I have a 15watt light, and are there any limits on how many plants my tank should have? Far as space I have plenty as I am removing my artifical plants and decorations for more natural ones =)

You could try pretty much any type of Java Fern or Anubias. Remembering that these plants can get pretty huge but that is dependent on the growing conditions.

Just to give you an idea of how large these things can get. My Anubias Nana

You look like you are having the same problems as I am getting small plants, my Betta tank is 32lt. Anubias Nanna can grow into large clumps. I am using serrated Java fern I am also using the new top growths tied to DW. This plant can be hard to locate and also can be expensive.
I have a twin 18ins unit one plant and one daylight tubes
Here is a photo of my betta tank with the Anubias nana and the serrated Java fern
The gap in the photo I am looking for Anubias Nana "petite" it is a very small variety but is prooving hard to locate in Aust. I also have Crypt Nevilii this is reasonably easy to grow and it is also a small plant.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info
