Google translate to the rescue!  I love the picture of Sméagol the frog
Am I right in thinking your 200L is mostly planted with hygrophila and saggitaria?  Do you use injected or liquid carbon?
 

 
I'm pretty sure it's Rotala Indica, but it could be Rotala Rotundifolia - The Tropica peg in the pot just says Rotala but judging by how it's growing/looks it seems like Indica.
 

 
Aha I've been scared off Rotala since it likes high light and I have less than 2 WPG.  How strong is your lighting?

Just the two T5's that came with the Juwel 260. 8 hours a day.

Haha, I can only imagine how funny translations the Google translator makes... Yes, you are correct, the plants are mainly those. I have no idea why my tank looks like that! I have to rip a lot of plants off because of overgrowth every few weeks. I don't use carbon or co2 in any form, or any kind of fertilizer, and the tank only has one light due to broken lamp holder. O___o Still the plants grow and breed in rapid rate.
