plant help

Hi. I need some advise! I'm looking for a plant that will tke over the floor of my tank like a carpet or blanket. Was at lps and said they don't know of anything like that but I've seen on tasa a while ago that someone had something like that or similar. I'm in the margate area where could I get something like that ? Anyone. On tasa that cann help me out. Will really appreciate it. Regards Deon

 

Hey easy growing plant or high tech? There is glosso, HC and a few more. You can rven use moss to do it.

 

There are a few types of carpeting plants. They vary in difficulty to keep, but most need an addition of a carbon source. Either Co2 or a liquid carbon.

Glossostigma elatinoides
Hemianthus callitrichoides (HC)
Staurogyne repens
Utricularia graminifolia
Marsilea hirstata
Hairgrass (Blacklisted)
Echinodorus tennelus (Blacklisted)

Glosso and HC are the most popular kinds, but UG and Staurogyne are quickly gaining in popularity. UG is also not easy to keep using liquid carbon. Excel supposedly kills it.

 

Easy growing lps doesn't sell or keep moss etc

 

Hey Deon. You van look at: Glosso, Micro Swords, Chain sword, Hair Grass, Hemianthus Callitrichoides (HC). HTH.

 

Go for the hairgrass.Easy to grow,doesn't need allot of light or Co2 and the lfs should be able to get it for you.

 

Wow,the hairgrass looks very nice. Hope i can get some aswell

 

I forgot lileopsis as well. It's another grass like foreground plant.

 

I have lileopsis and its on a standstill with EI ferts and high light so not easy to grow

 

Hi my lps I've ordred java moss before I waited a month and nothing ever came as he said can only get plants after the first rains in spring ? In margate the lps don't specialise in fish keeping so much. So If someone could help me out would really appreciate it
