Loach-durable plants for Asian hillstream biotope?

[ankelikuu]

I'm right now planning the plants of my 63 gal / 240 litres tank. There will be B. histrionicas and pearl danios (Danio albolineatus), perhaps sewellias and C. siamensis, too. The plants should be of Asian biotope. I am wondering, which plants are strong enough to withstand both loaches and the stream? Vallisneria, Java fern, Java moss, Hygrophila polysperma and some species of Cryptocoryne, would they be ok? I'd also like to have some shallow, grass-like plant, what could it be?

We've yesterday mounted and tested the river manifold system. Unfortunately there was only one suitable Tunze powerhead (2400 litres/h) available in this small country last week, so the other one must be orderded lately. :/ There is a place for it but it's plugged now.

I would recommend java fern. It is tough and not bothered by strong current. Also, a bed of val looks nice waving in the strong current.

mosses don't hold up very well in high flow areas. any crypt will do well, and anubias will also do well. if you can keep it down i have bacopa in mine aswell....not sure if those really fit the asian theme but yeah.
