i have the dubious honor of having duckweed and java moss die under my care .... yes they're virtually un-killable

Did you use plant nutrients?
All plants will eventually die if they have nothing to eat.
Congrats....you can share tips with those who are trying to get rid of their duckweed

The best way to keep aquatic plants is to treat them like fishes.
Feed them, play with them and turn off the light to let them sleep or mate.
Always keep a happy frame of mind when you're in front of the tank.
When you're happy the plants are happy because they know you're happy.
i make my morning swig of kopi with my tank water because it is very nutritious from my EI dosing of N, P and K elements.
i dont use CO2 for the tank but I do pour half a can of club soda into it once a week to boost growth
sorry, meant like grass. ok I think I'll go look for moss - the aquariums sell them tied to a mesh but super ex for each piece

buy those tied in coconut cheaper..... or look out for those seller in AQ.
Not much choice i think cos I want to plant grass on top of the substrate. I'll go look out anyway...thanks!!
read again, then i know you looking for grass... japanese grass is better.... if want lush look, riccia and mosses are nice, try flame moss...... java moss ok only as they are more untidy if grow much, always trimming....
using 2 tube t5 24 watts each is good enough, joust that if add fan, the mosses should grow much better.... if grow a lot, try grow extra as wall..... will be damn nice!!
