just ordered this package for my 95 litre tank and have no clue where to plant them, can anyone give me any advice on where to plant each species?

(no special lighting, no co2, ordered liquid ferts and black sand substrate)

Some interesting species. Assuming mini sword is E. tenellus? Or is is lilaopsis? What's the lighting? What fert did you order? What's the tank size?

Have a read of this... Skip the math stuff. I did that to appease the geeks.

Basics in Aquascaping

Paint is also a friend here. Microsoft Paint. You can take a photo of your tank with just the hardscape and then use Paint to draw your layout.

It might work out however, if you don't know what's in it I wouldn't recommend using it. I use dry ferts and mix my own liquid ferts for macro and trace. It's cheaper and contains the same content as the stuff bought at the store but lasts like 10x longer.
