The plant that you've boxed is called glossostigma. It's a very demanding carpet plant. To have lush carpet growth it requires high light and CO2. I'm not sure if 2.5 will be high enough.
 
At 2.5 W/G, you could use pygmy chain sword to get a similar look, it is currently spreading like crazy in my tank at 1.8 W/G.
 
I have glossostigma in my tank (see pic in sig). Very nice looking plant.
