Kathy is right. The plants donated for the auction were nice, but neither the right quantities of single species, not the right types of plants. A large percentage of them were either Swords or Anubias. Amano rarely uses any but chain swords in his tanks, and although he does definitely use Anubias, he'll need more than that to work with.
