What's a good carpet for low-med lighting
Looking for a carpet like plant for a medium light 10 gallon tank. Love the look of baby dwarf tears, but their requirements would require me to dabble in co2. Not trying to do that yet. thanks! I have anubias growing on drift wood and 5-6 amazon swords. Just need another plant to make it pop. Thanks!

Glossostigma elatinoides
I've had it, and made a great carpet with medium light.

Sweet, now I need to find where I can purchase it! It's very green. I'm using regular gravel, seachem flourish tabs, and a finnex planted+. Would that be adequate conditions for it?
that should work, I grew it in a 3.5 gallon, with Fluval shrimp stratum, and osmocote + root tabs. 12 watt light. this pic is about 2 weeks growth.
I could find more pic's tomorrow.

Lilaeopsis mauritiana, Marselia minuta, and Crypt parva (takes forever to carpet) are some I've had success with carpeting in small tanks under similar conditions.
Couldnt find marsilea for sale for my life. I hear its really slow though. I just started a thread about riccia and sp repens. So far people have said it works without co2.
This just Java Moss? Looks pretty good. How did you tie yours down?Moss tied onto mesh works well.

It's Christmas Moss. I have some stainess steel mesh pieces that I layed the moss onto and wrapped black thread around it. It grows up to look like that.
Couesfanatic what type of light and filter is in your set up?
The light is an Archea led clip on and the filter is an eheim 2211.
