Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	Medium lighting, Flourite substrate, Excel 2-3 times/week. The tank is planted with a variety of crypts, I'm looking for something taller to fill in the background. Unfortunately I haven't had luck with vals so I need other ideas. My 30g has medium lighting as well, mixed substrate of Flourite & gravel. I have 10 anubias nana growing well...I'd like to try a taller type, perhaps either congensis or lanceolata. Anyone have experience with these and would one or both work in my tank? Thanks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Smaller narrow leafed swords like Uruquaysensis or Narrow Leaf Rubin. The bigger Anubias will be fine, they are mostly variants on Barteri and all are equally easy to grow. Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.

Tall crypts like Balansae are really nice and don't go all crazy like vals.. Also have more texture then vals, ripples in the leaves etc.. The low maintenance plant aspect of it is good too, not having to always trim etc. The Amazon Nut...
