Default What to plant in my viv

What would you guys suggest to make a great display in my 72 gallon viv? I am spraying my background this weekend.

I would like to know some of the hardier types.

Thanks

What animals are you going to be keeping in the viv? The animals you choose will dictate your habitat/environment and the plants. In particular, it's safest to use plants that come from the animals' native habitat in which they evolved.

A website for checking out the safety of the plants in which you're interested:

Good luck!

I'm going to keep PDF I havn't decided on which species but it will most likely be one of these 3 d. Azureus, D. Leuc, or d. tincts brazilian cobalt.

Thanks for your reply
