Plants For Nano

[Neal]

I'm unsure of what plants to get for my nano, I know your thinking it's up to my taste. But what has small leaves that are good for nanos? I'm talking about a 5G tank and I want the illusion that the tank is big compared to the leaf size of plants. I've already come up with plants such as;
Rotala sp. ''Nanjenshan''
Rotala wallichii
Hemianthus callitrichoides "Cuba"
Echinodorus Tennellus
Didplis Diandra
All advice and criticism greatly appreciated!

Plants that you have said are good. I intend to use them too in the PFK cube ill be getting.
How about Echinodorus Tennellus and Didplis diandra? For info on both go to Tropica

Thanks...

Rotala rotundifolia var. narrowleaf, anubia petite nana, Christmas moss, willow moss, narrow-leaf java fern, HM, Water sprite, possibly some of the smaller cryptocorynes (parva, lutea, etc). These are some lower light options.

Myriophylum aquaticum and filligree are excellent options for higher-light tanks, as is the narrow-leaf variety of rotala macrandra.

depending on the look you are going for there are loads you can try...i have an aqua 320 ( 6gal ish) that i use for bredding my fighters. I have added a few small bare bogwoods in the middle to build up the tank and 1 small java planted borb bog wood just behind this. the plants i ahev used is ech ten in the fore ground, red ludwigia in the front left hand corner, cabaomba australis in the back left hand corner and a rotall wallachii in the mddle of the bogwood pile. i personally think it looks really nice ( if i knew how to up load pictures would ) and it has only taken 3-4 plants. sometimes less is more and you can have a really nice little tank.
