Hello.
I had a plant years ago in a 20 gallon community tank. It died a miserable death, like many plants I tried to keep in my tanks as a kid, so I stopped keeping live plants and never bothered again.
But since I've been lurking around here and seeing all these beautiful waterscapes, I'm tempted to give live ones a try again. The only tank I have that would support them right now would be my 10-gallon set up (see my sig). I have no interest in growing java moss.
What do you suggest as good beginner plants that don't need a lot of maintenance? Temp stays around 80-84 F, pH is 7.8-8.0, and I couldn't tell you if the water is hard or soft.
