Carpeting

[myrxn]

I wanna carpet the floor of my tank but not with java moss as I'm using that for the stones and stuff, I want an easy one that doesn't really need c02, I want one that preferably looks like grass but im not sure what to get and wHere, I'm in the UK

It doesn’t look like it does very good carpeting

Oh no I found some stuff on it, it’s cute, do you know if they’re sold online that sells it and delivers to uk? Or sells it in uk

Your best option for grass type plants are Sagittaria Subulata (as said above), Helanthium Tenellum, Littorella Uniflora or Lilaeopsis Brasiliensis. You could even do a mixed carpet of a few and see which does best, I think mixed carpets look more natural anyway.

I'd recommend going for the In-Vitro pots for carpeting plants as it means they dont have to convert to their submerged state and you usually get more individual plants than the pots. Best option for these at the moment is Java Plants, I ordered some from them last night

Since the tank in question has a 30 x 30 cm (12 x 12 inch) footprint, are carpeting plants easy to keep under control?
