right now the front of my tank is looking very bare and i would like a small dence fast spreading cover
 
if you have suggestions plz  attach pics and tell me where i can get them from.
 
Dwarf sagittaria is another good one. Can't help you source it, though, sorry!
 
This is how it looked in my tank;
 
 
Moss can be a pain to maintain though as it can get messy and needs trimming to keep it looking good.
 
Staurogyne repens and Eleocharis (hairgrass) are always recommended as 'easy' plants and might be worth a try.  I wouldn't expect them to spread very quickly if they spread at all though.
 
For a low-tech tank some anubias petite attached to small rocks could be a good alternative.
 
The best small, dense, fast-spreading ground cover plants such as HC are only really an option for high-tech, high-light tanks as they are very demanding in terms of light and CO2.

That's lovely Flutter, did you find your dwarf Sag spread for you?  What did you feed it?
I tried dwarf sag once and I'd completely forgotten about it, it's another one that I could never really get to grow!
 
Hairgrass, Eleocharis species, don't do well on a gravel substrate, but are fine on sand.
