Any suggestions are great thanks! (other plants in tank are javafern, anacharis, amazon sword, banana plants, temple plant, vals, and ludwig)
 
Anubius plants.;):thumbsup: I got some Anubius plants and they look awesome!! Its the plant in my avatar. There is a lot of diff species of Anubius plants. Anubius plants will do just fine in low light.
 
Anabuis and African ferns aka Bolbitis heudelotii. Thats whats mostly in my 55 plus I added some crypts to the left side for a different leaf texture.

Pics in my signature links.
 
:iagree:

Red tiger lotus makes an excellent centerpiece.

Amazon sword is dynamic if properly cared for.

How do you properly care for Amazon sword? I have one in my 28 gallon, and it's not looking so good. Everything else in the tank is thriving, if not growing to fast.
 
I believe that swords are root feeders . they also benefit with higher light but can grow in 2 wpg set ups.
 
I'm at 2.5 wpg, but the substrate ferts were lacking. I just added some root tabs yesterday, so I guess I'll see if that helps.
