Get yourself outdoors and take a look around the area you live. You may find some varieties of plants that will grow nicely in your tank. My best find to date "locally" has been Samolus valerandi...
Heres the way I see it, every plant you see in photos of beautiful tanks is considered to be a "Local Plant" somewhere in the world and you may just find that rare and unusual plant growing near you that could be the new planted tank Rave !
Happy Hunting !
