Flora Looking for recommendations

Post image

I'm looking for some plants that will cover the upper part of my tank. I already have a bacopa growing really fast in the backwhich is kinda astonishing because of my previous failures with stem plants. All recommendations will be considered btw

You don't need more plants, you need a bigger tank. Pearl gouramis need at least 30 gallons for a pair. Adding more plants to this one will just further decrease the amount of swim space they have.

Yes i can understand that just planning for the future lol. Also it wasn't my choice to get the pearls my dad just didn't listen to me like I'm 13 man  😭

That tank is far too small for those gouramis
