Short and easy aquarium plant suggestion?

My tank is only 9 inches tall - is there something short I could plant in gravel?





I bought a mondo grass at the fish store, but apparently thats not an aquarium plant.





Anyone have some advice/suggestions?


All input greatly appreciated


Thanks a bunch all


Be well

I think the sword plant is really easy to take care of and gives a nice accent to your tank. I have this and also an umbrella plant. Just put these into the sand or gravel and ka-pow! you have plants in your tank.
Reply:Yeah, that mondo grass is a big joke. I fell for that one, too.





Get a java fern. They stay nice and short and are next to impossible to kill. And you don't have to plant it in the gravel. Just use some thread to tie the rhizome to a rock or a piece of drift wood, anything really. It will attach itself in a couple weeks and you can cut the thread. Then when you clean the tank you can just pop it out and scrub away.
Reply:Small java ferns. Also try pygmy chain sword plants or the smaller Cryptocoryne species (such as C. affinis).
