opinions on Micro sword (lilaeopsis)
 

Hi! I'm planning to buy some Micro sword or lilaeopsis grass plants. I need
a forground grass-type plant that will cover my gravel in a nice lawn. What
are some of the tips for keeping it growing well and propagation? I also
keep a couple bronze corys and yoyo loaches...would I have to keep these
guys away from digging the stuff up till it rooted well?

My aquarium has 4 wpg and roughly 25-30 ppm of C02 with flourite as a
substrate.

Thanx for any opinions on this stuff!!

Dave.

You don't mention tank depth, which is also relevant to light levels.
Anyway, I'd still say that you have enough light; I find the small
swords to be high-light plants.

You definitely have enough light. Micro swords are somewhat very soft, and
get uprooted very easily when just planted. But they grow like grass on
field once they gain a foothold, by producing lots of runners.
