Carpet

[GodFan]

If I want a low light plant to carpet the entire bottom of my tank with what should I chose? No co2.

Java moss, any moss, dwarf sag

pygmy chainsword is a good one and is smaller than dwarf sag.

Thats a good one but I was told that those are medium light plants

But then they could adapt

marsilea minuta would be one of the only true carpeting plants that will do ok in low light that I'm aware of.

How do you keep it so it doesnt cover your whole tank? I dont want my crayfish to be engulfed lol
Also what is a low light grassy plant I could get?

Pygmy chain sword is a good one. It won't really take over your tank, it sorta grows in a progression. Also very grassy.

That's the only one I would know of that is low light.

Marsilea minuta as mentioned is another good one. I wouldn't worry about anything taking over the bottom of your tank if you are doing low light, it's not going to grow that fast if at all.

It is Med light plant IMO. I had it in a lower light tank and it was somewhat sustained for a while but it never grew until I moved it to a tank with higher lighting.
