Fine and Dainty Plant Suggestions for the Nano Aquarium

[sonicninja]

Hi everyone,
I've just set up a new nano aquarium and a couple of the plants I received were in shocking condition and I didn't even bother trying to plant and revive them.
I'm also not sure I made the right decision and in hindsight they were probably a bit too large and broad for my 16 litre tank.

Does anyone have any nice compact looking plants that would suit a nano tank. I'm looking for a midground plant as well as a background one.

My current plants are as follows-
HC Cuba
Staurogyne Repens
Rotala Rotundifolia
Rotala Colorata
Christmas moss

I should mention it's a CO2 injected tank.

Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks.

Hi all,

Cryptocoryne albida 'brown'

@Hogan53 sent me a plant which has been growing slowly in my daughter's hard water nano tank, with really narrow brown leaves.

cheers Darrel

Sounds like the one

Eleocharis acicularis mini
Riccardia chamedryfolia
Vesicularia dubyana
Fissidens fontanus

And these...

I didn't really consider any of the anubias or cyrptocoryne plants, I strangely always thought they would only work aesthetically in a tank with similar plants. No reason why they wouldn't look good! Thanks everyone.
