Re: Hardy Carpet plant without Co2
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.

Re: Hardy Carpet plant without Co2
Since it is a Shrimps Tank< I wont be using Glut. I will try with Tripartita which is available in my bigger Tank.

Re: Hardy Carpet plant without Co2
The fitting plant would be crypt parva, get around 30 of them and plant densely , hardy and can survive with slow growth.
