More live aquarium plants

Some other live aquarium plants which are great for your aquarium include.

Uruguayensis Sword

This sword grows very large and can be too big for smaller aquarium. Growth is relatively slow, however. Spreading is by shoots. Due to its large size, this sword is best as a background plants and is good for hiding tubes and pipes.

Aponogeton undulatus

Undulatus is similar to its cousin Aponogeton crispus. It is hardy and attractive, displaying full, ruffled foliage and often sending spiked blooms above the waters surface. Like many Aponogeton sp., undulatus will eventually lose its foliage and retreat into dormancy. In good conditions, the bulb should store enough energy to re-sprout after several weeks to begin the growth cycle again.
Crypt ciliata

Cryptocoryne ciliata has large, thick leaves and tall thick stems. The waxy leaves grow slowly to a height of up to 20″. Ciliata will tolerate hard and brackish water. They like bright light and rich substrate.

Broad Leaf Sagittaria

Broad-leaf Sagittaria makes an excellent mid-ground filler. It produces thick clusters of wide, grassy blades that are more rigid than Vallisnerias. They will typically grow to about 8-10 inches tall and, once established, produce runners.
