Another Newbie! I'd Like To Pick Some Brains..

[minikarter]

Right! So here goes, I'm very new to all this, and obviously I'm not going too ambitious but I currently have a small 35L Arcadia Arc tank (11W Arc Pod light)

I've got a "vision" of some plants that can grow out of the water and maybe spill out over the edge of the tank, with some other little ideas I think it could look pretty unique but I've never seen plants in any LFS like that? I've seen some kind of "lucky bamboo", and I've been recommended a couple of others; Limnophila aromatica, hygro and cardamine lyrata.

Any other suggestions as I don't know where to look to find them for myself! Also would they be suitable for a beginner?

I've had a look at lots of other topics and posts etc, and from what I've seen usually CO2 isn't a problem in small tanks such as mine?

Many thanks!


P.S: I actually saw a youtube video of a tank created by a Mr. Armano, the most incredible tank I've ever seen and was hoping to create something obviously much more basic but with a similar effect in a much smaller betta tank!

Bacopa monnieri will grow nicely spilling over the edges of the tank.

an amazon sword will grow out of the water if it has good lighting, mine has even flowered!

The majority of 'aquarium plants' are fine grown emmersed, many of the ones you buy will have been which is why there's often an initial die-off before new growth starts.
