Can someone give me a list of aquarium plants that don't grow very tall, ie. good for small aquariums?

Or good foreground plants?

    Well, many plants that grow tall can be kept in small tanks - they just need to be trimmed. Such as ludwegia, frill, cabomba, sunset hygrophelia, bacopa.

    Some small plants that stay small:

    Java moss

    Java fern (gets big but grows slowly)

    Small anubias (ie anubias v. nana)

    Dwarf chain sword

    Blyxa Japonica

    Banana plant

    Riccia

    Glossotigma

    Zoe had some great suggestions.

    I love banana plants, java moss, and Baby's Breath which is'nt that easy to come by, but is stunning and grows really nicely as a foreground plant.

    i've got had sturdy fulfillment with water lily bulbs, all 2 grew, even the only I submerged months a million/2 a twelve months later. As for easy, i might flow with that lamp and bulb concept. yet additionally, does this tank get carry of any photograph voltaic? that is sufficient if the vegetation you're attempting to strengthen take low or medium easy, and if no longer, you could flow it to a window, and that they'll sprout.

    i enjoy banana plants in my ten gallon fish tank. they are very short tho and only for show really. i most of all reccommend fake plants because even though they arent real they dont grow and are easy to maintain healthy and everthing...plus if you have a algae eating fish fake plants are a great help...this is a really helpful website...
