I am currently on the hunt for some good plants for a 10 gallon tank. I am trying to convert my 10 gallon tank from fake plants to live planted tank. Do you guys know any fast growing plants that I can substitute for my fake plants?
I currently have 1 Amazon Sword Plant and 1 Cabomba Plant

the two plants you have are a good start. if you really want them to grow fast however you need to provide them with plenty of lighting and feed them as well. make sure you have over 1.5-2 watts per gallon (look on the bulb of the tank), and invest in some fertiliser either liquid or root tabs. only use ferts designed for aquatic plants!
cabomba is perfectly capable of swamping your tank!
Ugh… You wanted plants, right? Not infestations! Don’t get the Watersprite, if you let it go too long without trimming, you will never see your fish. Also, because it is a floating plant, it has a tendency to attract a lot of algae, which as we all know, is not generally “pretty”. Most Cryptocorynes are fairly fast growers that are undemanding of nutrients and lighting. Also, Java Moss and Java Fern are extremely hardy plants that can flourish in any tank. Look into Pygmy Chain Sword, Dwarf Sag, Microsword, certain Crypts, Dwarf Hairgrass, Onion Plant, and most Vallisnera (Jungle Val, Italian Val, etc.) will make nice carpet plants. You don’t want too many plants unless you have CO2 and fertilizers (fish can’t provide plants with all the nutrients they need), so look into Flourish and possibly a DIY CO2 reactor.

well ur in the right direction so far but what you need to do now is get a water sprite and some small bushy plants
