Hi All

I am back into fish keeping, not done it in years and i have just recently purchased a 200 litre tank.

I am looking for advice and plants to purchase. I have a soil subtrate with 20mm gravel on top.

Thanks Jamie

Hello and welcome Jamie :)
The types of plants depend entire on your setup and what you want, low tech without CO2 maybe use fertilisers or go all out high tech :)
Easy plants are probably best to start off with as they are the most forgiving. Cryptocoryne, Java fern, vallisnaria and anubias are mostly what i have (i have a few more of another member here that i have to plant) and classed as easy :)
Red plants tend to be the hardest to keep as they have high requirements.
