Hydrocotyle verticillata
 

I think this plant is sometimes called pennywort.

Has anyone successfully used this as a foreground plant? I was persuaded to
try this as a foreground plant by my LFS about three weeks ago and so far I am
not satisfied with the results. I have it in a 55gal with DIY CO2 and 160W of
lighting. This plant is not noticably growing at all and does not look very
good. I think it would look good if I could persuade it to become much denser
but I don't see this happening. If someome else has used it and made it look
nice, I would be very interested in hearing from you. Pictures of a nice
setup would be very helpful. If it seems other people haven't had luck with
this I think I will scrap it and look for another plant (too bad I can't find
glosso or riccia!).

I tried my hand on this but I let it grow vertically. Mine did not
appreciate high temperatures. Best grown in colder tanks 77F.

my tank but it has a pretty thick groth of pennywort.

I'm just gonna get rid of it. My cories are digging it up anyways as it
doesn't root very well in my tank. I don't know if it's possible to make it
nice and thick (hard to tell in that picture) but if it is I assume it will
take more work than I'd like...
