    Hi guys,

    I was actually thinking of setting up a tank looking something like this, anyone can help to recomment plants that looks something like our coconut trees, with strong stems that does sway when there is current?

    I have seen those plants sold at the fish shops that look like palm leaves,they are usually tied to driftwood. However, I'm not sure if they are terrestrial plants faked as aquatic and they are rather large.

    Gratolias and E. stellata comes to mind... if the bottom part of the stems is bare, or trim off the leaves, a big one sort of looks like a coconut tree...
    ...I love rubies too ...

    E. Stellata looks nice, but I read that it is quite a difficult plant to keep???

    Gratolia is easier option than E. Stellata.
