Low growing grasses

[Roland6543]

I'm looking for a low growing grass that spreads. Its for the front of my freshwater tank in the open swimming area. Any suggestions?

A lot of it depends on your lighting, so what kind I lights do you have?

I know under the right conditions dwarf baby tears do

What temperature? (kelvin rating)

What type? (t8,t5)

What lumens? (most people don't know this, including myself so it's ok if you don't too)

I don't know these parameters. I got the lights assembly used from someone else.

You may need fresh bulbs. Most used light fixtures have old bulbs (over 12 months).

Pygmy chain sword is a great looking grassy plant that spreads across the tank floor.

It looks superb!!!!!







At the back of my Bolivian is the main bunch I planted and all around him is the linking shoots.

This is over the 70 gallon tank?

That is not enough light to grow most, if not all, of the carpet/grass plants.
