	Aquarium carpet
highjinx Hobbyist Posts: 108 Kudos: 96 Votes: 2 Registered: 16-Jul-2004	Im looking for a very small fern to grow on my rocks. I was thinking of java moss untill I saw an ugly picture of it that looked like someone needed to trim it with a weed wacker. The tank is only a 55 gallon and about the whole back of it is full of rocks. I wanted some sort of carpet like fern on the rocks and then between them I was going to put anubia barteri. Oh and by the way, I'm hoping to put Zebra Plecos only in this tank. Any suggestions???

Does well attached to rocks. Do a google on the name you should be able to find pics and info. Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.
