Proving my newness to aquatic plants.......any one care to enlighten me to what HC is? It looks beautiful....
i believe its common name is "dwarf baby tears"
scientific: hemianthus callitrichodes
Might be wrong though..
depending on availability, you could also go for glossostigma somewhat similar look, though I like HC a little more.

Where do you find these ground-cover plants? None of my LFS have had them. Everywhere sells the standard plants; Hornwort, moneywort, fanwort(cabomba), amazon swords, onion plant, (mondo grass...) etc.
I'd love to have ground cover in my 10g. I tried to accomplish it with some dwarf sword planted in some rockwool, but it's nearly dwindled to nothing by this point :/

I purchased mine at http://bayleesfishees.com/catalog/ I was impressed with the quality and I think his shipping is free if you order over $20 worth of plants. This store is a regular seller on aquabid and has great feedback.
my LFS sells it potted for $5 a pot.
If you're really desperate, I can get a pot there and ship it to you.. provided your state doesn't have a ban on it
also, try aquariumplants.com

Depending on your lighting, they are better than glosso because gloss needs bright lights while HC can grow with medium only.
