chili rasbora vs Vallisneria

Chili rasboras - [https://search.brave.com/images?q=Chili+rasboras&source=we](https://search.brave.com/images?q=Chili+rasboras&source=we) You could have 12- 15 with shrimp, snails

Also, chili rasboras are a joy. Love em.

Something like chilly rasboras would contrast nicely.

The chili rasboras are going strong a year later, outside of one who was always on the smaller/weaker side.

I would recommend something on the smaller size such as ember tetras, chili rasboras, CPD’s, etc.

Best beginner plants imo -> hornwort, crypts, frogbit, any moss, pothos (dont even have to plant), amazon sword, and vallisneria.

Tall grass-like background plants that are beginner friendly sounds like Vallisneria.

For the plants, I would pick Vallisneria. It's a seagrass-like plant that will sway in the current really nicely. It's easy to grow, you can grow it in gravel with root tabs fertilizer.

Limnophila Sessiflora and vallisneria are two super low maintenance plants that will grow nicely even with a stock light.

Vallisneria is a great family of plants to look out for to fill tall space and grows in basically any substrate and basic light.
