Finally! On tuesday my shipment for the rest of my tanks supplies is coming in and its time for me to think about plants. I have a 46 gallon bow front thats going to be hightech with Co2, great substrate, and 4.17 watts per gallon. I do plan on putting in a moss wall on the back of the tank, my lfs only sells java so it is most likely going to be made from that. Open to anyone that has any suggestions on what plants to use as foreground, middle, and back. Keep in mind this is going to be a discus tank with a school of cardinals. I will be cycling the tank of course for atleast 7 weeks before adding an fish.:D

Cardinals would be a better choice in higher temps over neons. Not sure yet which plants do better with discus. I have a planted tank and then I have my discus tank.

Thanks for the post Wahter i think im going to use some of those in my new tank.:D
I really like the Anubias barteri var. nana, Microsorum pteropus ''Narrow'', and the Rotala macrandra.
