hi ming,
it's president of vice.

my APC tank is wannabe biotope.
actually biotopes rarely have many types of plants.
the plants in my tank incl glosso-new zealand, bolbitis-africa, hottonia-UK, downoi-thailand [not even close to SA!]

the tropica website lists the plants according to country of origin and if it's a hybrid[man made]

your plants are slow growers. don't expect it to grow fast. the E tennelus and vallis will be the fastest...

normally more light+nutrients including co2 will induce better growth.[not always the case]
better stick to what you have and be patient...[or get more tanks!]
If you're looking for amazon biotope, you're looking at the Echinodorus genus...[this genus has many hybridized versions]
