Wanted (CPT) Smallish plants

I'm looking for smallish plants which I can put in the midsection of my tank. Preferably plants that don't grow higher than 15cm - 20cm

I'm willing to swop what I have, or even pay what's needed. I'm just desperate

Also doesn't matter if they're high light plants... getting more lights end of this month and the plants get some sunlight in the afternoons.

 

What about getting that grassy type stuff?

 

I've got some Lilaeopsis which I'm waiting to grow a bit more so I can plant it in the open spaces.

I'm looking for bushy/fern type plants.

I totally forgot that I got this guys plant list (he stays in CPT somewhere) and I can order from there LOL

Still be better if I can find some cuttings ^^,

 

i have some of those micro swords that you saw in my tank. mateo fm ine also has loads of sagiteria he can give you

 

Thanks Henk, that's awesome.

Do you have cuttings available or do they need to grow still?

I'm in no rush, so if they'll only be ready end of this month, or when you heal up, then that's fine

 

still growing - but they are very fast growers

 

Cool, let me know when you decide to trim again ^^, Thanks Henk

 

wilco - i might have some sag in the fishroom for you...

 

i have some hairgrass here for you.... i'm pretty much home bound so give me a ring/sms when you want to collect

 

Thanks Henk

We'll probably make a turn after the 23rd

 

ok cool - i'll keep it here for you

 

Thanks Henk ^^,

Keep well hey! Hope you're feeling better

 

Henk, I've been looking for good hairgrass for a while, what conditions have you found it to grow best in?

 

best under high lighting, co2, loads of fertz

 

High lighting, check, CO2 made by lots of fish, check, fertiliser check. Thanks. Does it have a preferred pH and temp or is it unfazed, hehe?

 

so does the CO2 get farted out by the fish? by high light i mean 2x 250watt MH lamp units

 

Okay maybe not such high lighting... but yeah any system with respiring organisms will have elevated levels of CO2. I've never used injected CO2 and most plants seem to thrive and start outgrowing my tanks.

 

No mate - i am talking about a 5Kg bottle of CO2 with regulators and defusers. i am also running a PFP/Chemicult/Latarite/CAPM media mix under the sand

A friedly warning after reading some of your posts - you are about to get taken to task by a few of the forum members. tone it down just a notch or two....

 

@Nirv: You better go and check Henk's setup. He has a 2.5m full plant setup.

here is a link to that thread

 

Your hairgrass must be doing really well! I was more meaning in a community setup without too much lighting for normal conditions, or would one have too much difficulty keeping hairgrass healthy enough without such intense lighting and CO2?

I'm sorry, but what do you mean by tone it down?
