Vine like plant or moss to grow on rock?

[Ryan Young]

Hi all,
Setting up a 30cm cube and decided to take inspiration from an aquascape I recently saw and caught my eye.
So as seen in the picture there is a large rock in the middle which ties the scape together nicely, I like seeing the rock bare without being swarmed by moss and therefore a plant variety may be more favorable than a moss.

All I am looking for is something that will hang from the front edge of this rock to create a vine appearance to add a little more to the scape, any suggestions?

I was also thinking about replacing the plant at the back for Eleocharis Sp as I love the look of it but feel I will need more colour and bulk the lower level alongside the Eleocharis Sp, other than an alternanthera mini does anyone have a suggestion of a low- ish level plant that is red, or just not green and will accompany the Eleocharis without overcrowding it if possible?

Sorry, a bit long winded.
Thanks Ryan

Love that pic, what's that plant on the far right back, red?

Monte Carlo looks nice weeping. You can either plant it at the top and let it cascade down the rock as it grows, or shove it into cracks on the front face of the rock.

I believe it is Rotala rotundifolia however this is not my aquarium, this is just one which I found interesting and would like to take inspiration from.
Sorry for confusion.

I think the designer of this scape is called Volker Jochum, he has some really interesting aquascapes!

Hi Ryan,

I have grown Hydrocotyle Tripartita sp. 'Japan'. It has a lovely trailing windy vine effect throughout the different layers or levels of the tank.

I have also seen recently a member call Greenfinger2 or Roy trying to create a vine like approach with string and moss.

Might be worth looking at that.
