Q on these 2 plant species

[West1]

I am interested in "Marsilea minuta & Taiwan moss" or even "Baby Tears"

I dont have any Co2. Just a 70gl corner tank with 2 65w flor. compact lights. Will these thrive in my tank? Lights are on for about 3 hrs a day

I would like to put them on driftwood as I have a bare bottom tank

Thank you

You'll need to keep your lights on for longer than three hours; more like 7 or 8. The only one of those plants that will readily attach to driftwood is moss. The other two will require a substrate suitable for plants. Baby tears will need higher light and probably CO2 to survive.

I agree, pretty sure Baby Tears need lots of light and CO2 . . . I tried 'em once, and while I thought I had enough light, I don't use CO2 . . . they gradually died over several weeks . . .

Even with moss I need to have the lights on for so long?
Maybe my tanks r dippos to be plantless
