Im looking for a plant to provide some surface cover for a corner of my aquarium. I have about 2.5 watts per gallon and am having luck with other plants Id like something that would root so it would not drift, and does not have huge leaves.Tiger Lotus, Green (Nymphaea zenkeri) is a possible candidate but ive read that it can have fairly large leaves which id rather stick to something where i could keep the leaves under 3 inches in diameter.

Though these plants have a tendency to be weeds, they are easily controllable. Just pick some out and trash em.
another good plant is Hydrocotyle aka Pennywort

salvinia minima and frogbit will do this to your tank
Limnophila sessiliflora will grow tall and bend at the water surface providing cover.
