Small leaved stem for low tec?

[Wendal_spanswick]

Hi all, sorry I'm posting a lot of questions today but I'm determined to sort my nano tank. Its a 30cm aqua one cube and I'm looking for a small leaved stem that will do well in low tec conditions. Does anyone have any suggestions? I wasn't sure how Bacopa Monnieri would fare?

Ammania/Rotala sp. 'bonsai' did well for me low tech.

Rotala indica also a good choice.

Micranthemum umbrosum? (Giant baby tears, often confused with baby tears, even under its scientific name)

I have in my low tech inset up a couple if weeks ago, seems to be doing well, I'd say about a 30% increase in size since planting

Rotala sp rotundifolia......will do very well.

[DOUBLEPOST=1409056016][/DOUBLEPOST]That looks nice but everything else is green and I'm not sure how a block of red would sit in there. Thanks though.

Thanks for all suggestions, this website is so good and helpful for people like me. Kept fish for a while but getting a bit more serious about a few planted tanks I have. Asked three plant quesions yesterday and all been answered by lots of helpful people. Thanks.

Bacopa Monnieri would fare?

Bacopa australis maybe? This one is in my low tech. You can grow it upwards if you want too like a stem, or even floating at the surface.
