Hi,
I am failry new at this hobby and I am getting a bigger interest for
plants... for some reason they last longer than the fish I put in. 
Anyway, I have a 33gal tank, I believe it is cycled now, the tests show
the tanks is stabilized.
I've been putting live plants in the tank.
I have Cabombas, Anubia, ludwigia, Echinodorus red special, Hygrophila
and some others I can't remember the name.
So far I have seven live plants... I do want to fill the tank with
plants, I am just wondering at what point they're too many?
I don't have alot of fish, couple neons, two dwarf gouramis a pleco and
a guppy.
I also have a lamp, I believe it's a aquaglo lamp, not sure right now.
The lfs around here have different plants I just wish there would be
more color to them, they're pretty much all green with some being
reddish.
There are too many plants when you can't find a spot on the substrate or
driftwood to put another. ;-)
Yeah - plants are pretty much green. If you have very bright light,
Rotala macranda and Alternantheria Reinckii are very red, and some
cryptocorynes go purple. I add other colors with the fish myself.
