ground cover plants

[Bethany1979]

I got some java moss for my tank, and after it being in there a week I realize it's kinda ugly. I was hopeing someone could tell me what is a nice ground cover plant that grows fairly quickly (spreads out) and isn't very too picky on light, and tolerates a higher ph. Also a suggestion of where to buy would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Dwarf hairgrass is pretty good, but requires at least medium lighting.

What about pellia? Is that any good?

I honestly have no clue. I don't very many plants and their names. Hopefully someone can answer that question for you.

i keep sagittaria subulata in low light conditions, it stays low and sends out ample runners. Its not a dense ground cover but gives a nice green effect.

Does it plant easily, need to be anchored? Need good substrate?
Thanks

I have it in gravel tanks, eco complete tanks, etc. Its very easy to plants (roots readily) and seems to do well as long as its over 1 wpg.
