I'm a plant seller and a customer sent me this PM. Would you please help me find the answers to his questions?

He said -

"I'm planning on adding some flora to my 3 gal long and was wondering if these plants (Hydrocotyle verticillata) would be fine growing in FSS with no CO2?

Also do you have any plants that also do well in low light that can be foreground plants? (What foreground plants would do well in low light no CO2 tank.) Thanks!"

Hydrocotyle will be fine, though they may want to occasionally supplement with root tabs. I've grown it in nearly every tank I've had - some with just ambient room light - and it's done well.

There are many foreground plants that can be used. Though, in that tank (I'm assuming it's the Deep Blue Professional 3gal), some sort of small Marsilea like minuta would be best.
