Hello Everyone!!

I'm new to the forum and new to fish keeping... Any help or suggestions are more than welcome.
I currently have an AquaH2O tank (70long, 60high, 45wide) with a sump filtration system.
It has been running for about two months now and I have not yet had any trouble.
I currently have these following fish:

2 x Guppies
2 x Balloon Mollies
2 x Scissor Tails
5 x Angels (3 of them are Koi Angels)
1 x Rainbow Shark
5 x Neon's

I want to get more plant's as well... Any suggestions?

Like I said I'm new to all of this... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey hey Welcome to TASA Nadia! :) :) Solex69 is great with plants...I'm sure he'll help you out with suggestions (you may have to google the common name though - he tends to 'swear' at you with all those scientific names :wink: LoL

Nadia, I personally would go for Vallisneria. Thats what i've got in my setup. However you might go for anything of your choice. I would suggest Java Fern and vallisneria. Don't rush though get a little at first. Vallisneria grow quite well and will give off new shoots if under the correct conditions.

Plants I will always recommend to anyone are:

Limnophila Sessiliflora or Heterophylla
Hygrophila Polysperma
Hygrophila Corymbosa
Najas Guadalupensis
Microsorum Pteropus
Anubias Barteri var.nana
Ceratopteris Cornuta
Ceratopteris Silliquosa

I can go on with more plants but it all comes down to what you like & prefer. But it also depends what you can find there by LFS your side. Whenever you come closer to CPT side, gimme a shout and I'll give you some plant cuttings to get started.

Cheers
