Excellent List of Low Light Plants

[Smitty06]

The blyxa I had was already acclimated to low light so that definitely makes a difference. Blyxa doesn't have the prettiest acclimation period so don't be discouraged if it falls apart a little bit.

Thanks for the list, as a newbie many of the names are lost on me. Which one thats low or standard light friendly considered a 'carpet" type?

All should if they're low light plants, LLPs don't require much light for photosynthesis so there for CO2 not required. Plants that are high light plants or even if you have a high light set up on your tank you are forcing the plants to go through photosynthesis much faster so they need more nutrients eg. CO2 being one of them. The plants in this list should grow with just LLS, ferts, and if u wanna add CO2 u can or u can use some type of liquid CO2 like flourish excell. Hope this helps!

This is a great thread. The only thing missing is a thumbnail picture to tell what the plant actually looks like.
Thanks
