I'm looking to remove all the vallis from one of my tanks, it's taking a fair beating from bristle nosed plecs & clown loaches (trying to eat it or just bashing through it, lol) so I'm trying to think of another plant to fill the space with & would love some ideas :)

Water stats:

temp 29°c
ph 6
kh 1~2
gh 1~2
lighting, roughly 2wpl
diy co2 mixture

any suggestions would be greatly welcomed :)
 
hmm bnose plecs should not do too much damage to the vallis :) Im thinking right now that if the vallis gets munced or beate..... there arent other good substitutes... how about echinodorus sp. maybe ?
 
the clown loach does the most damage, it nibbles at the base of the vallis :( the BNP just charge head first into it looking for more food, lol.

I've had a bit of a look and spotted cryptocoryne balansae, does anyone have any information about this plant or had it themselfs?? I like the "grass" effect in the tank :)
