Hey guys I have a 20 gallon planted tank that is almost done cycling.
I am using eco complete and a clamp on lamp/light with a 100 watt, 5000 kelvin, CFL bulb.
I want a small carpet of dwarf baby tears. However I have no co2 at the moment, but I can run DIY co2. I hear in order to grow baby tears, you need pressurized co2, but Dustin from DUSTINSFISHTANKS, grows them fine without any co2. Also, I want a carpet in one area in the middle of the aquarium. The right and left sides of the aquarium are already moderately/heavily planted with Ludwigia, Italian Val, and Rotala. If I plant the Dwarf baby tears in the middle, will the Dwarf baby tears start spreading where the other plants are?
THANKS!

Are you sure its the "dwarf" one that Dustin planted?
I remember seeing the video, but he had the normal baby tears.

Yes they were the BABY TEARS not dwarf I thought they were basically the same I guess I was wrong.

Dwarf baby tears will spread all over the place given time and a good environment. If you don't have pressurized CO2, however, I doubt it will spread much.

If you want a carpet, you will need co2
