Carpet plant for a pH 7.5-8, 27-29C 1ft Cube?

[emptysoulz]

Was looking around for plants to grow in the following environment

1. 1ft Cube (30x30x30) ~27L
2. 27-29C (Normal room temperature)
3. PH 7.5 - 8
4. Inert substrate (Flourite or Onyx)

The reason for the above parameters is because I am intending to keep sulawesi shrimps which require the above parameters

Aside from moss, are there any carpet plants that will survive or thrive in the above parameters?
I will dose CO2 if neccesary

i see some people use Downois in their sulawesi tank.

You can use downoi but do not keep any rabbit snails. They ate all my downoi hahahaha.
Hairgrass and glosso worked, but not very healthy. I removed them before they had any chance to show problems, they did start to creep but the color was not right .
Downoi was healthy and fat before the snails ate them all

Or you can do a bare tank with marimo or java moss,which was what I was keeping.

X'mas moss?

Interesting plant! I've never see this plant being talked about before

How does downois carpet? Most of the pictures I see has them growing like individual bushes.
Noted on the snail attack haha

I was tempted to try fissiden too. Seen some amazing pictures of grinded fissiden carpeted or latching to rocks via DSM.
But not too sure how it will turn given a Sulawesi tank parameters

This is not my sulawesi tank(i sadly did not take a picture when it was flourishing with downoi), but here is an idea of how downoi "carpets" from my other tanks in the past
Pardon the lousy pics haha cameras a few years ago are not that good
