Another question!

I have a 7.7 gallon planted tank and am looking for addition plants... my tank is approximately 20x9x9, so its shallow.

What would you all suggest as being good plants for this tank?

Current residents: babytears, anubias, banana plants, clover, java fern, small amazon swords (will outgrow, I know)... betta, 8 neon tetra, 3 RCS and a netrite snail.

I have 3" of eco complete and one 18" fluorescent bulb for plants.

If you have a open or raised top, how about some bamboo?

There are a couple of things that come to mind. Marsilea (provided your light is enough), several Crypts such as C. parva, C. undulata, and even C. wendtii which would be a nice background plant in a tank that shallow. Hygrophila "Compakt", and Glossostigma work as well.
