Sup ya'll!! I need some help with some background ideas. Obviously needs to be tall, bushy and I'd prefer green since most of my other plants are not.
Heres the tank I need to fill...
Thanks

I have some tall Crypt Wenditti-- It grows to about 14 inches.
 
Can't see your picture, but I like some big amazon swords, and also giant hygro gets nice and tall, and has a little different look.
 
Thanks for everyones input. Its good to hear other peoples ideas. Nope thats not glosso, its hydrocotyle verticillata. I started off with 5 nodes and its spreading like wildfire. I like the stuff but I gotta move it to a better location. The stuff on the left is dwarf hairgrass. Kinda waiting for it to fill in. I'm running 468watts over a 180g.
 
Try some pogostemom erectum....very bushy and will grow to the top of your tank..

green bushy plant on the left....very cool..

Cabomba comes in red or green and fills out VERY nicely when its happy (the red flowers big purple buds). Cardamine will EXPLODE when its happy and you can plant it in bushes or make a wall of it. i like to keep mine trimmed sort of like a hedge and it fills in very nice. Wisteria is a quick grower and the branches will go out as far as 5-6 inches on each side when it gets big. Ludwigia comes in red or green and can be planted in small bushes to make a staircase effect
