Nice but I am afraid that all of the mentioned plants will not grow is the light.

is it low for plant I mentioned sir, mine is around 3wpg , what I read most of these plant will do good in low to medium light but few like rotala not show their true beauty, will check 1 month if growth is not satisfactory thn will add more
