Recommendation for plants in low light non-co2 tank

[jonc711]

Hi AQ,

I'm sorry if i am posting in the wrong forum, but i need some help regarding my plants. i am not sure what type of plant to put in my 1ft cube tank with 2 bettas and standard filter and aeration. I may be using a mini clip on light soon, what plants/moss should i put

[Neondagger]

java fern and moss

[jonc711]

As in any type of moss? Java, Xmas, ball etc.

[Ganthet]

Java moss is the most common and arguably least demanding, so you would want to start with that.

Anubias are good choices are well, though they are slightly more costly, and grow quite slowly.

[fotoudavid]

nanas, java ferns, java mosses.......

[freddiewee]

Pelia did well for me, Duckweed grew in heaps in a tank that i had without chiller or CO2. i have seen non-CO2 tanks with fissidens, beautiful but boy do they cost much.

[opt1c8n]

e tennulus, hygrophilia polysperma, hygrophilia difformis

[wind88]

Hairgrass, US fissiden and nana is good.

[cherabin]

I never had much success with mini and us fissidens in low-tech tanks and I have largely attributed the reason to non chiller cool waters.

Rotalla najean, water hysop, java moss, windelov fern, e tennelus, riccia, duckweed, nana... All these grew like mad in my 1 feet low tech tank

Now I'm trying glosso, hope it works.

Low tech plant are limited and generally not as beauty you might want to consider having co2 and good light setup

actually, it is what the hobbyist think. plus the very important fact of growth rate...
i find having co2 enrichment with adequate fert dosage really speed up growth of plants.
