I was thinking about that, a local shop actually gave me a couple of Amazon offshoots but neither one took off. This is actually a pretty low tech tank. I only have one bag of Seachem gravel mixed in with my old silicon? gravel. The co2 is diy, so to be honest I'm not surprised it failed. There is some sort of sword in the front right area. I put it there to get it started and plan to replant it further back when it gets taller - if it gets taller. I'm still on the lookout for a nice Amazon Sword, on this side of the pond they're a bit hard to come by.
