    Hi i've just set up a 2ft tank intended for Apistogrammas. The substrate is ADA Aquasoil Africana. Since ADA Africana can lower the pH to a low 5 region i was wondering what plants i could put in. Another point would be since i'm adding in ketapang leaves the water would be slightly yellowish. The tank is in direct sunlight during the day from the window, so i'm not adding any form of lighting for the plants.

    Also i would like biotope-correct plants, which is to say plants from the Amazon basin. I just need say 1-2 varieties since the plant mass would be very low.

    By the way, there are only Amazon frogbits and hornswort in the tank right now. Final fauna would be a pair of Apistogrammas and a few otocinclus.
