What are some plants that stay small....

[jujubee]

I am planting a 10 gallon. So far I have watersprite, anubia nana, and 2 micro swords (i think thats what the guy said they were). What would be some other plants I could add that don't get too big for a 10 gallon. Oh, I have a 28 watt light on the tank. Thanks for any help.

Ludwegia Repends(stem plant) is a good plant, leave size-wise for that tank. When it gets to gangly just cut it back to 3" or so, but cutting off the tops and pulling out the rest and replanting.
In your light it will grow nicely and get red/pink in color for you.
I would also consider a Cryptocoryne or two. They stay low and develop nice color in the bronze varieties.
And my favorite is E. Tenellus, especially the red variety. It will stay short and spread for you on the substrate.
I've basically just described my ten:).

Most of the fore and midground plants from that link should work size wise. You may not have enough light for some of them though. There are so many good plants, it would probably be impossible to list all that would fit in a 10 gallon.

My personal favourite stem plant is limnophila sessiflora. It can get very dense and remains easy to grow and prune.

ok, so today I bought some Red Ludwigia, not sure what the sientific name is, Red Ludwigia is all they told me. It looks great in the tank, nice small leaves. Does anyone know the scientific name for it? Also, I really like the looks of Limnophila, I will definitely have to find me some of that. Thanks for your suggestions everyone.
