seems like you dont have enough light...
if you have higher wattage, your glossos will start growing sideways and faster to grow into a carpet

No they came in a bundle with a led weight around them then I took off the weight a spread through out the tank. I can see that they are growing.

you had them for a week and its still standing, i say 4wpg is not enough.
when i had glosso in my 6 gallon, within a week it was spreading sideways, flat to the substrate. well i had 5+WPG :cool: :cool:

Four watts per gallon is more than enough and almost overkill. You can not expect much in a week.

and maybe the type of substrate? Not sure what that kind the white gravel is.
My ground cover has barley grown at all voer the last week, but it looked nearly dead when I recieve it. It sprung back to life so I hope it starts growing soon!
