[enzof9]

Hi everyone, is there any species of freshwater plant the is easy to keep and looks like long grass (about a foot) tall and not wide at all?

look up vallisneria. There are several different species of it, most of which are pretty undemanding.

Thanks for the reply, but I was looking for something that requires nothing but a white light in the tank. Maybe I'll change my requirements and buy something that's easy to keep. I'm new to planting in aquariums.

vals are the easiest grass-like plant that I know of. There are some others but they tend to be more demanding. I had good luck growing them with only a moderately upgraded light.

What light do you have now? A lot of the stock lights that come with aquariums really are not suited for growing plants of any kind.

Val will grow even in low light tanks. I have it in a few and it grows beautifully. I have it in one that has no tank light just ambient room light

by light, do you mean the entire fixture or just the bulb? I was going to change my bulb as soon as I got plants.
