gravel + foreground plant?

geofari · November 13th, 2009

Specific question. I was just wondering since I've tried microsword and the wait was just too long for me

So like, which foreground plants can thrive on gravel?

Hello Geofari. Welcome to Fish Lore (In case I haven't Welcomed you before)

I have 1 Annubia that was given to me by one of our members and it's doing great. All I did was place it in the gravel. I have generic lighting and I haven't added any ferts or chems to help it along.

Java is a quick grower. Mosses are fast too.
Good luck and welcome to fishlore.

I am not sure what the question is. Do you want to grow a full foreground or a grass look? Is that why the Microsword took too long?
If its the grass look you want it depends on how much lighting you have.
