I want to plant my 125 tetra tank with carpeting plants, I just need to know what is a good and hardy kind for beginners and how much of it I should start with...
Generally speaking, good carpeting needs CO2, high light (or at least strongly medium), and ferts. If you don't have that, you won't get good carpeting, unfortunately. Most carpets will grow, but you won't get that thick, lush look w/o that.
As far as easy and hardy, hard to go wrong with glosso. Maintainance on hte other hand....
Hmmm, there seems to be more to this than I thought. I'll probably just keep researching to know if I should do this or not, because I don't want to buy plants and have them all die and look like crap and dirty up the tank
I guess I could try other plants too, I just like the look of carpets. I also think all tanks should be planted, it looks cool and promotes a healthier ecosystem imb. Which is why I want to plant it
