Plants that Like Current

[mrgrudge]

I'm putting together a mini-river tank, by river I mean that I have a strong current running from one end of the 10 gallon to the other, courtesy of a powerhead and some custom piping. What plants would you suggest are strong enough that they won't be torn apart easily if in the path of the current?

vallisneria gigantea (giant vallis). Regular vallis is probably ok too and probably better for a 10gal, as giant vallis can get to 3ft.

I see, so would just about any other plant with large leaves do?

Fine needled plants like Mryriophyllum are very common in rivers as well as grass like plants.

I have a creek near my house and it has some anacharis growing right at the high flow currents. Hornwart might also be an option, as it is pretty hardy in most conditions.

My bolbitis does better with a some flow going by it.

Thanks for the input.
