There are a lot of beautiful native plants, including many of the hobby
"stand-bys" like Vallisneria americana, Cabomba caroliniana, most of the
Lugwigias, Didiplis diandra, Sagittaria and more.

It really isn't a hardship to work with native species... It's just like our
native fish, we tend to ignore them just because they ARE native.  I was
very amused when I visited a petshop in Manaus, and found that they didn't
offer a SINGLE Amazonian fish for sale.  You could buy goldfish, guppies,
swordtails and Bettas, but not angelfish or cardinals.<g>
