Good place to start...

Hi all.

I was recommended here from my LFS to start looking at plants for my tank.

Are there any good places on the web to see different "species" and work
from there? I have a 20g tank (2' tank) and although it is planted at the
moment, I have a problem as the plants I have are growing quite quickly. As
much as this is a good thing the downside is that they are ugly plants, got
them really cheap as a starting thing but now that I am quite happy with the
results, it is time to move to prettier ones.

I have around 15 or so neon tetras, 4 oto's in the tank. Hard to tell as I
have a mirror back on the tank, and now want it to look nicer and give the
fish some play area as well without overcrowding the tank.

I have *no idea* what plants I have now, or what I should get in the future.
I want some of the small grassy types for the front of the tank, but have
also been told it will seed itself and then grow underneath all the
substrate and eventually have no visable substrate. Don't know if it is true
or not, but here's the place to ask I suppose.

If someone could kindly point me to a website or two to start looking at
different types that would be great. My LFS said that I should ask and find
what I want first and then go back with names of the plants to see how we
go.

I have also adequate lighting setup on the tank, so if the plants don't
requite much light would that hurt them?

Des.
