That would be perfect to help hide the heater! Then I could arrange that anarchis along the back in order to bring out the rocks a bit. Thanks man!

Dwarf hair grass is cool.

I have a patch of grass I got at a pet store but it does not seem to be growing...the guy said it would grow under the gravel and keep growing around the tank but it has not done anything...not sure of what it is

Lighting maybe?

 

[xfactor6699]

Low growing plants take high lighting

If I cut the top of the one plant there will be no leaves...most of the leaves are at the top of it...bottom seems to be alot of roots...

 

[brandi17201]

I have 2 10 watt 65k florscent lights...is that enough?

[brandi17201]

Lol...yea im new to this as you can tell...not sure what plant it is, it had purple flowers on it when I got it...I have a 10 gallon tank

 

[brandi17201]

[brandi17201]

Ok so I can't remember the correct name I can get it if u want me to but besides the point its more of a floating plant in the wild u can cut it anywhere the leaves will grow back dont worry about that....as for the grass I dont think ur lighting is enough u need like 3 watts per gallon then u have to start co2 and a lot of other heart aches I would get read of it look at medium snag lower plants go to plantgeek.net for help

No cut it in the tank

 

[brandi17201]

Ok so here I have cut them and moved them to the corner....its cloudy because I stirred things up and bit and changed some of my water while I was in there...I have a liquid plant fertilizer...how often can I add that to the tank?
