Hi guys, I'm establishing a 10 gallon tank with a few southeast asia fish including 6 harlequin rasboras and one male betta. I'm also including about 4 ghost shrimp. What common plants are native to southeast asia and small enough for this tank? Could I use regular aquarium gravel as a substrate?
10 gallon SE Asia Biotype

I know the packages they sell are for bigger tanks, it'll at least give you somewhere to start.
Do a little research and it'll give you a better idea on what requirements will be needed to grow the plants you're interested in.
I hope that helped.
Good luck!

Cryptocoryne parva is nice and stays small too. Any of the Rotala sp. would work, I've had several types as a background plant in my 10g. You might also want to check out Blyxa japonica. I would steer away from any of the Hygrophila sp. as they tend to get a bit large for a 10g.
Here ya go!

It separates the plants by region. Pretty nifty IMO.
