    Hi,

    I am thinking of setting up a small tank of guppies 1ft x 1ft x 1ft.

    What kind of plant is good if I don't intend to setup a CO2 system?

    Thanks,
    Silver

    perhaps you can provide some specs regarding your lightening,temperture and substrate.

    Nana petite and dwarf hair grass can do relatively well in low tech tank. Moss will prefer lower temperture to grow well.

    Thanks for the input. The Tank will be in Singapore room temperature.. No air-con.

    I do have a flourescent tube over the tank but I can't recall how strong they are but I guess should be sufficient...

    I have not considered what kind of substrate to add yet... still sourcing for info.

    Moss is the 1st plant on my mind. Grown Flame, Fissidens & X'mas moss without chiller, just fan.... maybe I'm lucky with the temperature part.
