The idea is to have the back of the aquarium with a lush emersed vegetation. I will also install a trellis for creepers to climb up.
Since it's going to be an amazon themed tank, I'd like to stick to plants that can be found in the amazon.
My research so far has coughed up:
Philodendrons
Monstera deliciosa (but having second thoughts about this seeing how big it grows)
Peace lilies
Dieffenbachia
Peperomia
Anthurium
Sygonium
Also to the trellis I want to tie some of those "mossy sticks" that are used for creepers, and have orchids, ferns and bromeliads growing on them.
The width of the tank should be around 2m.
The plants (apart from the epiphytes of course) will be housed in small plastic baskets that are approximately 10x10cm, 8cm deep, filled with clay pellets.
Wanted to know if you have some suggestions of other plants to consider, criticism of the project, or something I'm doing wrong (or will do wrong since it's a project so far) or could do differently.
