Sa "biotope" Plants For Begginer

[Soup21]

I'm just curious what you guys would suggest for a planted 55 "biotope" aquarium. I'm having bolivian rams, tetras, and catfish so nothing to destructive of plants. looking for good low light plants that would fill the back of the aquarium, and something to cover the bed. my only request is that they be regional ie; from south america to keep somewhat with the biotope idea! thanks for the help in advance.

Amazon swords is one i can think off

i was planning on having two or three amazon swords as a focal point in the back right of my tank. i can't seem to find anything else. if i must i'll break the biotope idea just in the greenery. but like i said i'd like to keep it somewhat regional at the most.

Argentine Swords, Chain Swords, red Melon Swords, Banana Plant, and Amazon Swords, to name the ones i had in my biotope.

i'll look for all these when i go to buy plants tomorrow. I have a noob plant question. it doesn't matter how many plants i put in at once right? like it does with fish? i'm guessing it shouldn't matter but rather be safe than sorry.
