Live Plant Suggestions For A 75 Gallon Tank

[bernermad]

I have a 75 gallon freshwater tank that has 6 regular tiger barbs (I'm planning on getting 3-4 more albino barbs as well), I also have 1 redtailed shark, and a common pleco who is soon to be rehomed (but the plant would be introduced with the pleco still in the tank). I'm also thinking about eventually getting some panda cory catfish somewhere down the line.

Is there any type of plant that would be best for my tank? Also how to do plant them? I use gravel now, would I need to use something different? How easy is it to maintain the plants? My friend always complains about hers overrunning her aquarium.

Thanks!

Thanks! I was reading those but stupid me didn't even think to look at all those until after posting :stupid: ! I really don't know what kind of WPG our lighting gets but right now we aren't really looking to upgrade the 75 gallon. We just have a regular strip light with the bulb that came with the aquarium. So whatever lighting usually comes with the tank setups is what we have.
