I have a thirty liter tank with 3 amazon swords, about 7 induvidual cacomba stems, and a piece of bogwood. How do I put them all in. What plants should be in groups, how I should position things, how I should place the pants ETC. Please help!

Cabomba(?) I'd suggest putting in the back in a corner. A sword in the other side. Bogwood in middle of the tank (is it the tank focus?) another sword behind it and anothing sword next to it and in front of the cabomba. That is what I would prob. do but it's hard when I don't have it all in front of me to do some trial and error. It's all up to you though!

Cabomba should be grouped together in a back, maybe a corner.
Amazon swords are a centerpiece type plant IMO, and to be honest, they will take over that tank in no time. I wouldn't do more than one in that small of tank personally...

Cabomba back corner with wood angled in front toward the center to cover any lower leaf drop. 3 swords in a loose triangle on other side, 1 slightly in front of wood.

LOL thanks for the replies! I'll try it tonight. The amazon swords are one bunch split up, not three bunches.
Tori, everywhere I have seen cacomba mentioned in England, it is always spelt with a c. Even in magazines, websites etc. Maybe it is different in the US?

Odd, the genus is spelled "cabomba"
