What carpet plants are good?

[F1 VET]

Do you have old/seeded gravel from another tank? Not really sure what you can do if its already planted but I would consider mixing a bag of eco complete or flourite

You don't just want to add crap to your tank and spike your nitrates, so its a tricky situation, one Im not familiar with but these are my best suggestions. Its not the end of the world but a nutrient rich substrate gets a planted tank off to a healthy start while your learning and balancing fertz, light and co2!

Don't run an airstone while the light is on BTW. And remember the stickys in the planted section have tons of info for you to absorb into your noggin' so get reading my friend!

Plus I already ordered the black gravel.My pregnant neon swordtail died and I did a c-section, two of them were alive and 30 mins later only 1 is alive??The temp is good, its cycled water, good ph and ammonia levels, I fed them crushed up flakes mixed with water.

Gravel got here yesterday and it looks great, there is just barley enough.For some reason amazon DIDN'T ship the micro sword but we still had to pay!!!

Not to be mean, but, pretty much. After 5 pages you haven't given enough information about anything for me to really help you, so I can't do anything for you.

A plant that can be grown like a carpet that's not talked about much is Riccia. Tie it down to flat rocks or stainless mesh grows fast with co2 looks really nice as a carpet or on a Wall.

I am sorry you feel that way hybridherp.I was just really busy and tired.I prob saw it but forgot.

I'm just saying, don't ask for help if you aren't going to give the info needed in order for anyone to help you. We're all tired and that's understandable and all, but I asked over a month ago. I'm just saying, don't be surprised when people start ignoring what you say and ask if that's how you respond to those reaching out, ya know?
