After increasing lighting in my "mid-tech" tank (medium light + Excel) I was left without green stem plants as a result. I've Rotala rotundifolia (regular and colorata - which now both look exactly the same), Rotala rotundifolia "Blood Red" and Hygrophila polysperma "Sunset". I want some green background for them, so that their colors contrast with something that is just green. And this something green shouldn't be 10 inches wide - I just don't want to waste half of the tank's width for this background. Any ideas apart from Rotala rotundifolia "Green"? Should grow well in soft water and preferably be of asian origin (trying to stick to SE Asia theme for the tank).

Off the top of my head

bacopa monnieri
bacopa caroliniana
cabomba
clinopodium brownei
lindernia rotundifolia
limnophila aromatica
limnophila heterophylla
limnophila sessiflora
limnophila green wavy

Not sure if there from SE Asia

Montecarlo will stay bushy and low with enough light I think it's from Central America and or The Carribean so it's not Asian.

I think a visual would help. You may want something with a different leaf type as what you have now is very narrow and on the smaller size so some vibrancy and size difference will add complexity to the scape. Attach some pictures if you can
