LOW LIGHT, EASY
1) One foreground?
Java Moss, order it once, propagate your own colony in the store
crystal wort, same concept
2) One floater?
Water Lettuce for sure, easy to grow under low light, 15W in 20G tank gave
me loonie sized plants, under the 40W in my 27G I got 2=3" heads, more
light you get pond supplies
crystalwort and hornwort
Duckweed sucks for the new beginers and needs some more light than people
realize to do well.
3) 4 or 5 good growers
Echindorus Bleheri, very good size
java fern, slow growth and black leaves will throw some people off but once
it goes
Val's any will do nicely, corkscrew doesn't form as dense a carpet
jungle val
lilies, I got a nice little one red tiger slow but prolific grower.
AVERAGE LIGHT, EASY
4) One foreground?
haven't found one yet.
5) One floater?
duckweed, but advise purchasers to make thier own containment rings from
sytrofoam backing material for wreaths, I did this for myself with a white
foam ring from white rose.
6) 7 or 8 good growers
Alternanthera reineckii "roseafolia" Red Temple, any alternanthera would
be good.
cryptocoryne beckettii "petchii"
Ludwigia Repens
Coffee Leaf Annubias - Anubias barteri "coffefolia"
Pygmy Chain Sword - Echinodorus tenellus (mine is having trouble in the 27G
adding laterite to the tank tonight
Brazillian Micro Sword - Lilaeopsis brasiliensis
Banana Plant - Nymphoides aquatica check out chuck gadd's site his flowered
looks freaking amazing
HIGH LIGHT, SOME CHALLENGE
7) One foreground?
Cyperus Helferi, barely alive under the 40W in 27G, it faded away in my 20G
over a period of 4 months
8) One floater?
Amazon frogbit - Limnobium Laevigatum (duckweed relative)
Hydrocotyle ramunoides - Hydrocotyle ramunoides
9) 1 or 2 exotics
Madagascar Lace, that's my next challenge
For some floaters, I was thinking about a nitrate sponge (Hornwort?) and
something for Bettas/Gouramis (Water Lettuce?).
definately water lettuce, enough space between leaves that they can form
bubble nests.
