which carpeting plant

Glossostigma (my personal favorite carpet)

easy to grow...fast growing...looks good

fair warning tho...its a pretty aggressive grower but it will fill in all of your voids

For low maintenance eleocharis belem is a great choice. Somewhat slow to grow in but once it fills in it does not require mowing like some of the larger hair grasses. It is low growing which will help give the illusion that the tank is bigger.

I also like the staurogyne repens. Easy to grow, stays low, fills in quickly and easy to trim.

Sorry MrMoneybags but I found glosso to be a really messy plant to deal with. Agree that it looks good and grows fast but it didn't last long in my tank.

+1 to e. belem

captain bu,

Im liking the suggestion of staurogyne repens after reading about it, I think it will work. It looks awesome too so thats a major plus.
