Another newbie

[Coyote]

I started keeping fish few months ago and already had a parasite fiasco. Right now, I have a 20G tank with small swordtails and some plants and want to add more fish and plants in the near future. Any suggestion?

Hmm... try some tetras, i suggest around 5 black tetras. Nice active fish. For plants try adding so Hygrophilia Polysperma, this plant grows like crazy and is very hardy. Welcome aboard!

What's the common name of
Hygrophilia Polysperma?

 

[Fatboy]

Coyote, Hygrophilia polysperma is commonly known as Dwarf Hygrophilia. According to my Baensch aquarium atlas it is supposed to be a very good all around plant, able to adapt to different conditions, but does best in water of average temperature.
KH: 2-15 pH: 6.5-7.5 T: (20-30 C)

Thanks, Fishboy and Fatboy. Hopefully, I can get it this weekend.
