Multiple background plants

[swivvr]

If you were to use a background plant such as vallisneria and use another plant at the back of the tank, would the vallisneria take over the whole background to where you can't see the other plant or would it survive?

It hasn't in my 65 gallon tank. I have vallisneria and a bacopa in the back of it.

In my experience, it was dependent on the type of substrate & nutrients used.  One of my aquariums has larger sized gravel & the Val propagated more slowly for me with limited root tab placement & moderate water column fertilizer.  Every tank is different though.  The Val plants are easily removed if it's growing too aggressively though.
