ground cover?

[I3u11he4d]

I,m loking for a plant for ground cover that does not require much light.I would like it to have a similar look to glossostigma.I also want to stay away from any "grasses".Any suggestions would be helpful.

wendtii... is a low light plant and doesn't need any care...

how about microsword? java moss? java fern? wish I could remember what the stuff in our planted tank is called, but can't if you can get it to grow right, wisteria, we have some in our shrimp tank and it started growing as a ground cover instead of vertical.

Good suggestions, just be careful w/ the Java Moss as it'll literally take over in a blink of an eye.

Yeah,java moss is not what I want at all.I wish I never used it in my first tank,I cant get rid of it now.Like I stated before ,I'm trying to stay away from any grass type plants this would include micro sword.thanks for the input.

Ypu could try Glossostigma or dwarf helzine ( hemianthus callitrichoides). I have never tried these plants but they are on my want to try list.
