Anubia nana "Petite"
It grows very slowly, and can do well in both low or high lights. It is most
decorative when attached to stones or roots, and like other Anubias should be
attached with fishing line until it gains a hold. It is an ideal choice for the
small or nano tanks due to its small size and ease of maintenance. The "True" Anubia nana Petite
has very tiny leaves, size of small fingernail.

Blyxa japonica
B. japonica has recently been
popularized by Takashi Amano's 'Nature' layouts, where he utilizes its dense
growth habit and grass-like appearance to form attractive greenish to golden
tussocks in the midground. It forms an excellent contrast with small-leaved
foreground plants such as Glossostigma elatinoides in aquascapes lacking
taller plants

5* Elatine gratioloides
Elatine gratioloides is essentially a stem plant but has been used as a foreground plant where the stem is taught to "crawl" along the substrate.With good light, Elatine stays low and spreads quickly. Its bright green colour provides a great contrast to darker plants.
However, Elatine gratioloides can also be used as a miground plant in low light enviroment.

Eleocharis Belem (5cm mesh pot)
Eleocharis Belem is a new addition to the Hairgrass family.
This very low-growing species forms many runners close to the parent plant, forming a very dense growth in the aquarium.
Unlike the regular hairgrass, it spreads itself and curls downwards towards the substrate, creating a unique foreground.Very similar to Eleocharis Japan but is slightly shorter and leaves are lighter in colour. Place 3-5 stalks together about 2-3 cm apart when planting and you will be rewarded with a lush lawn when they spread. It is an excellent choice for foreground planting.

10*Helanthium tennellum" micro"
Helanthium tenellum, known as the pygmy chain sword,
has a very wide distribution from the northern United States to South America. Two quite distinct varieties are known in the aquarium trade. The most commonly sold form has narrow dark green leaves only 1-2 mm wide. The most recently formed leaves can have a dark red coloration under good lighting and nutrition. A much less common variety has light green leaves that are much shorter and broader, being up to 4 mm wide at the base, tapering from the base to the tip. In the broad-leaved variety, there is no tendency to produce red pigmentation. Plants of the second variety, if uncrowded, stay very low to the substrate, whereas the first variety produces upright leaves, even if uncrowded.* H. tenellum spreads rapidly by runners, forming a dense turf in good light and a much more sparse growth in shaded areas. While growth is faster with CO2 fertilization, the plant grows well in tanks where the fish provide the only CO2. Frequent pruning is necessary to keep it from invading every part of the tank. Emersed, the narrow leaved variety produces a very delicate, small plant with tiny flowers, whereas the broad leaved variety produces a considerably larger, more robust plant.

Hemianthus callitricoides in 5cm mesh pot
Hemianthus callitrichoides "Cuba", commonly referred to as HC, is one of the smallest aquarium plants available to a hobbyist.
It creeps naturally and will cover the bottom of an aquarium, forming a thick carpet over time.
It is generally undemanding and makes an excellent foreground plant, expecially for small or nano tanks, where it will do fine even without CO2 injection. Given CO2 supplementation, growth is accelerated and a lawn of bubbling HC is simply breathtaking
