When it comes to plants, there's no such thing as overstocking. However, I'd research low-tech plants if you aren't injecting co2.

Just to give you an idea, here is my 25l dwarf puffer tank. Anything is possible, even in small tanks 
nice aquarium !! Hope with my tank i will be creative like this ! But can i put more plants now ??(because i had set up my tank only 2 weeks ago ) PS: I'm using JBL Manado , does it make any difference ??

Yes, add plants now as you got fish in and not adding pure ammonia as the plants will help with the cycling process. It's called silent cycling. The plants will help 'eat up' the ammonia which harms the fish. Make sure you plant at least 70% of the surface and choose fast growing plants. If you go to P@H, have a look at the little labels in the pots, they tell you whether they are slow or fast growing and what light they require.

That's a nice looking tank - bizarrely you have 4 of the same plants as me in EXACTLY the same locations in the tank!

Got it at my LFS and to be honest it's not doing too well, so might have to replace it soon.We both got good aquascaping taste and skills

i dont think iv seen it before...iv seen fish shops sell stuff like that but its not full aquatic. might be why its not doing to well. vallis might be a better option and Amazon swords
No idea
I wouldn't bother replacing it, it's not a true aquatic plant and you'll never get it to last more than a month or two.

With replacing I mean like getting something longer lasting. I heard before that those are not true aquatic plants, so I bought it knowing it wouldn't last too long, but wanted to try it out.
Good idea
Yes, they do look nice; they're just like cut flowers, I suppose; lovely while they last!
