Looking for more plants to keep a lid on hair algae! I do water changes, but I think more plants would help.

The plant is Corkscrew val! It's the smaller variety. It was a "free" plant that got scooped up with fish at the store.

It was happy at first, then started dying due to a lack of minerals. I started dosing the water with supplements, and it seems to be slowly improving again :)
