Which is the hardy carpet plant that would grow without Co2 for my shrimps tank. Tank size is 7*10*12 inch with 11 watt pl.

Marshelia,glosso and styrogene repens would be the best bet

Marselia hirsuta, Staurogyne porto vehlo, Anubias petite, Riccia.

Thanks a lot for quick reply.

Echinodorus tenellus , I hv this plant will take some time to adjust immerse to submerge ,once it get going will start sending runners , will give nice look of grass

Eleocharis pussila or Micranthenum spec. "Monte carlo" would also be a nice choice for a groundcovering plant that grows without CO2. Furthermore they don't need much light. Here are some links to plants, that should easily grow without CO2.

I personally find it v hard to form true carpet without CO2 with above stated plants .......S.Sabulata is the best i had which to some extent covered most of the foreground .... r u going to use glute or Flourish excel ?? Will b looking forward to this thread........ i really want to see carpet forming in low tech set up

Since it is a Shrimps Tank< I wont be using Glut. I will try with Tripartita which is available in my bigger Tank.

The fitting plant would be crypt parva, get around 30 of them and plant densely , hardy and can survive with slow growth.

List will be very helpful for all aquarists so I am making it sticky.
