Live Plants

[Questions?]

I wanted some grasses o go with my 20 gal tank. I want some easy, cheap, hardy grasses tha are low to the ground and look great! Also is there any extra things i would need to buy to keep the plants alive?
Does anyone have any ideas?
Also does anyone know if there is a certain plant that corydora atfish love?

The grasses need good flow at the base of the tank and bright light, that's why they aren't really a starter plant.
If you feel like a challenge and are willing to put patience into it go for it.

A good grassy plant is Eleocharis Parvula, stays low and easy to grow but without CO2, nutrients and good flow will take a while to carpet, oh and not a high light plant at all. Most grassy plants don't need high light, in fact most carpet plants don't its a myth, just good CO2, ferts and flow is generally enough but some will do without the CO2.

 

[Questions?]

what is the best way to supply CO2 and a good flow? also can the light just be a regular fish tank

 

[Ps3Steveo]

Its not a must to have CO2 but there are guides in the top if the CO2 section. What lighting wattage do you have and whats your tank size?

i mean a regular fish tank light?

I can't tell you unless you know the wattage of the light but most tanks use tube lights which are fine but knowing the wattage would help along with your tank size.
