Small Tank (35ltr) Plant Favourites.

[si walker]

Hi all.
Im at home a lot at the moment and thinking about replanting/ rescaping my Dennerle 35 ltr scapers tank.
I am a pro at growing Buce and Anubias if i don't say so myself! Have tons and all looking really lovely, but feel that i have a cunning knack of buying the wrong plant for my tank.
At the moment for example i am trimming stems every week. Bright red lusciousness stems. They grow so well but honestly don't fit the tank. Again my Fern sticks out of the water, i picked the wrong one i guess?
So what you got for me.
What plant are you really happy with in a smaller tank?
A name will do and i can search it up.
NO CARPET BUSINESS.

Thanks.
Si

Most moss, Cryptocoryne x willisii.

How about Bacopa monnieri Compacta?
It stays small with nice tidy growth.
Or Lysimachia nummularia if you want a splash of acid green.
I pulled some from the garden & it's been growing low tech for a couple of years!

i especially like pearlweed (hemianthus micranthemoides), helanthium quadricostatus, blood red rotala, staurogyne repens
