I found an online source for plants here in Canada. ThePlantGuy - his prices seem more reasonable than the fish stores here and I will actually know what I'm getting. Thinking of adding the following 5 plants - please tell me if I need to change the bottom of my tank to soil or sand instead of rocks for any ... Java moss, Bacopa Carolina, Anubia Barteri (coffeefolia), Java fern, and Ludwigia Repens.

lol sorry! I forget not everyone knows the shorties around here. NPT is natural planted tank. you got LPS right, LFS is local fish store, IAL is indian almond leaf, QT is quarantine, AQ stands for aquarium lol. I think thats all of them...
