Java fern will end up collecting alot of the waste that wanders around your tank though. ^_^ [hr width='40%']"Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness I need to calculate,what creates my own madness... and I am waiting for disaster"

While I can't see clearly the pics he typically uses Riccia as ground cover. Not a plant for the lazy as it requires a lot of maintenace. Most of the grass type plants require high light and strong maintenance regimes. For the easy to maintain tank use Anubias, Ferns, Crypts. Forget about grasses or carpets. 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.
