Recommend me a plant

[ChriX]

I'm after a plant that will cover the substrate in my tank. Fast growing would be nice. Something like the top tank on this page: http/www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/2...7/amanopix.html

Been trying to find out what it is but no luck.

Amano uses riccia fluitans as "grass" in a lot of his tanks... but it doesn't attach itself, it has to be held down by something like a hairnet, then it grows through until you don't see it anymore.

Something I'm looking forward to trying is Monosolenium tenerum. If you go to Tropica's site, there is an article on their front page.

The foreground plant in that picture is Glossostigma elatinoides. It's easy to grow, and grows fast easily. Just give it plenty of light and CO2.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Lateral line: that one looks very nice, I like the kind of cushions it makes. I need to find somewhere to get hold of them now, anyone know anywhere in the UK that stocks any of these?

As Magnus mentioned, most "carpet plants" require a lot of light; usually, 3wpg or more.
