Plants only from the amazon basin?

[Brad]

hi guys was wondering if anyone knew of a list of plants we have available in aus that are native to the amazon basin?

Would like to setup a amazon tank as close as possible so hoping there are quite a few.

hi Brad,
there's a lot of plants available in australia that originated in the amazon basin..
start with the sword plants, Echinodorus species, there's at least 10 different types fairly readily available, and they come in all shapes and sizes, from giant to dwarf ... a few of them even chain up and carpet your tank bottom! :)
