Generally we don't go buy the WPG. Rule any more. What exact light fixture, bulbs, and tank size is it on?

There is a good long list on the planted tank that i found the other day.

Excellent List of Low Light Plants

[eduguy]

I'm thinking these plants. Will they work?
Java Moss
Anubias
Hornwort
Corscrew Val
Guppy Grass
Parrot Grass
Crypt
Dwarf Sag

 

[eduguy]

I've narrowed it a bit. No cambomba or Green Hygro
Any others that won't work

 

[eduguy]

Will water wisteria work?

 

[Rivercats]

It probably would but if you use it be sure to add a root tab, same as you would with any crypts or swords you plant as all are heavy root feeders.

So all plants on my list will work with root tabs?

 

[Rivercats]

No some will still need or benefit from a water fertilizer such as Seachem Flourish Comprehensive.

How many per plant or area?
Also, is guppy grass a midground plant?
And can you split the Dwarf Sag and plant it somewhere else and grow more?

 

[eduguy]

Does anyone know?

 

[Rivercats]

How many per plant or area?
Also, is guppy grass a midground plant?
And can you split the Dwarf Sag and plant it somewhere else and grow more?

Just one per plant or area unless it's a very big plant (like a large sword or crypt) or one per area unless you have a large grouping.

Yes, you can split Dwarf Sag and plant it in other plants. I'd also use the guppy grass more mid-ground.

Is guppy grass the same as hornwort?

 

[Rivercats]

Is guppy grass the same as hornwort?

No, guppy grass is Najas guadalupensis. Hornwort is Ceratophyllum demersum.

Ahh okay. Thank you

And can you split the Dwarf Sag and plant it somewhere else and grow more?

Dwarf sag will produce runners and baby plants will grow around the bigger plants. Splitting them is not necessary. It will eventually cover the whole bottom of your tank.
