Hello,

I am Looking for a couple low light/tech plants that have some height to them.

I currently have Anubis, Java moss and a small java fern.

Tank is 46 gallon bow, sand bottom with big drift wood. Really want something that will reach up high.
Thanks,
David

I've got tons of java fern windelov for sale which would look awsome tied to you driftwood and anubias nana which would also look awesome attached to your driftwood. I also have red ludwiga which will grow as high as you want it to be. Also I have something called mint Charlie which is a yellowish background plant that grows extremley fast. Pm me if you would like to buy some.
 
Thanks Dallas. How does the red and mint do in low light?

Brookster has been pushing Anarchis. I really would like to find some of that.
 
Haha its just a great plant, grows like crazy and sucks up nitrates like a sponge!

The red ludwiga will be ok in low light but turn green and the mint Charlie should grow but a little slower. Java fern and anubias are great low light plants.
 
I have Wisteria, Ludwigia Repens, Rotala Rotundifolia, Hygro (Willow), Valisineria Sp. Leopard, and Corkscrew Val, and Hygro Scarlet.
PM me for prices, and pics if interested.
