Sorry guys, another plant query . . .
Having set up the hardscape in my son's new tank, we have a fair bit of bog wood that I'd like to cover with plants. We've picked out places where we intend to add some Anubias Petite and Anubias Pangolino, along with others where we plan to add some mosses (Java, Fissidens and Christmas).
However in the central area where the bogwood 'roots' converge, I want to add some small plants, that grow in the region of 2-3 inches at most (or can be reasonably trimmed to maintain that height), but grow fairly bushy to fill the voids, and hide joints in the bog wood. Whatever plant we choose needs to readily grow on bogwood and rock.
I was hoping for a dwarf java fern or similar, but they appear to grow to 5 inches at minimum. One other possibility is Bolditis Heudelotii - assuming it can be trimmed to keep it low) -0 though I have read that it doesn't do too well under higher light, and its position will be closer to the surface in this tank.
I'd welcome any other suggestions anyone has?
