high or low lighting?

[reds_21]

hey all.

right now i have some nubia plants and they are doing really well with my not so bright lighting set up. so, i recently purchased a small thing of kyoto grass plants.

can it grow with the same light as nubias or does it require more light? will it attach to gravel like the nubias?

[Rhaethe]

Kyoto grass (aka mondo grass) is not an aquatic plant. Some folks can keep it going for up to 6 months or so with new shoots coming out of the dead ones, but since its not aquatic it does die and rot eventually.

It's great for a terrarium where the roots can get constant water (which it likes) but the leaves not submerged (which it hates).

I learned this one the semi-hard way, heh.

other than anubias, are there any low light aquatic plants that i could add to my tank that dont require CO2, and that can attach themselves to gravel?

[annageckos]

Java fern and java moss are low light plants that shouldn't be planted in the substrate. There are also many varieties of both anubias and java fern.

This is what I have in my 10g that has 2wpg of light: java fern, java moss, guppy grass, amazon sword, cryptocorne, moneywort, moneywort, anubius, and hornwort.

I have Java Fern, 3 types of Anubius, Crypts and some other plant I forgot the name of with very small gravel and .6 watts per gallon of lighting. Plants seem to do ok.
