    can anyone advise what type of long strandy plants to cover or "shadow" my windelovs ( the part circled in red ) as i dont want them to take in so much lighting and also to cover back part of my tank ...

    would prefer those long and that grow in strands and need mid-high lighting requirement.

    please state the name of the plant and if possible the LFS to get it too . thanks alot

    You can consider 'onion plant' (crinum natans or crinum calamistrum)

    Other than strandy plants, you can consider large leaf plants like a medium sized Echinodorus, a member of the water lily or lotus family.

    If I'm not wrong, I think Shadow mis-spelt C.helfery. Should be C.helferi.

    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:

    Strandy?

    Elodea, Mayaca, Rotala Rotundifolia?

    Those looks strandy enough.
