Ground cover for a 2 gallon tank. - Aquarium Advice

RocketSeason · 12-07-2004, 02:10 PM

I have a two gallon Betta tank with an [acronym:7020619d6a="Under Gravel Filter"]UGF[/acronym:7020619d6a], a 120 volt 5 watt light bulb, and a medium Sword Plant in it now. I am looking for a pretty, easy to care for plant that will spread across the gravel and not grow very high. any Ideas?

thanks,
-Matt

What about a nice little Java Moss nest to cover the bottom? You could just take it out and shake it to remove uneaten food and waste.

java moss is probably the only thing 'carpet like' that'll work with such low lighting.
