    I thought I would add pictures of my tank even if the first one is really outdated.

    I am guessing at most of these, cabomba caroliniana, hygrophila polysperma, dwarf sag, java moss, Monosolenium tenerum attached to driftwood, and i forgot what that red leaf plant is. but as said this tank shot is old. i reaquascaped since then, one of these days i will add a new picture.

    That's a nice variety. I can't wait to see the updated pictures.

    The red plant should be crypt. It looks exactly like what I have in my Endler tank.
