I'm looking for low growing, carpeting ground cover for my 2.5 gal nano. Consider this a low light, low tech tank. Also, I'm new to the planted world. I've been doing quite well keeping my fake plants in my S/A tank happy though:icon_wink
This is the run down right now...
lighting: 40w GE plant light in a desk lamp
substrate: florite with a little sand for appearance
fauna: 1 dwarf puffer and a few snails (pond and MTS)
My LFS doesn't have a lot of plant life in stock, so I'm going to have to go to the owner with specifics to get what I want. He specializes in African cichlids and SW fish, the plants are just there for the occaisional buyer.
remember, this tank is small and I need a plant that stays low.
oh, do you know of anything that will toss shoots up to the surface with some kind of lilly-like leaf that will work in my tank? I like the idea of floaters and the stalks running up the water column and may want something similar if it will stay small.
thanks!
