mid-ground plants

[RockabillyChick]

what are some good mid-ground plants that get about 5-6" tall and do well in hard water with 2.5wpg. i was thinking some micro sword...

Some plants I use are dwarf sag, lobelia and crypts. Narrow leaf java fern doesn't get to big either.

i already have crypts, and java fern on my drift wood.

in the mid-ground of my tank i already have crypts, red ozelot sword (which is spreading sideways, not up) and tiger lotus. so i need some stuff with small-ish leaves to go in the mid-ground. my tank is only 12" tall and in the background i have Rotalia Indica, wisteria, myrio, and red ludwigia. i also have some aponogeton that is, for some reason, only sending out about 2-3" leaves. they are hidden behind my driftwood and i literally forget they are in there...

Baby Tears, I just got some and they're awesome looking. Small leaves and bright green.Also known as Hemianthus micranthemoides (http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/plantfinder/details.php?id=33&category=genus&spec=Hemianthus) . Its more of a frontal middle.

This is actually a great Plant finder (http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/plantfinder/index.php) It lets you use many different type searches from genus, lighting requirements, type, hardiness, region etc.

i like the babys tears, but the leaves are very similar in shape to my rotalia indica.

the stargrass is neat, but i've never seen it for sale around here
