[Sean W.]

build an interesting pile or two (one larger than the other) then use some low-carpeting plants to create a carpet around the rocks

sorry to piggyback, but this is interesting! What plants are low carpeting?

Would that be Java Moss?

two of the easiest in my opinion would be cryptocpryne parva and pogosteemon helferi...they will be okay in low light tanks with no co2 or ferts...you will need to prune and replants when it gets a bit to big, but with the parva it will just send out runners so theres no real need to prune...only prune dead leaves otherwise the plant will use all it energy trying to repair the leaves instead of growing.

otherwise for the medium light high CO2 and nutrient tanks hemianthus callitrichoides, or glosstigma elatinoides.


@zullan

java moss wont carpet as such and needs to be attatched to slate or the likes with fishing line or a hair net
