I'm looking for a good groundcover plant for my planted tank. I have about 1.5 wpg and I have a plain gravel substrate. I have about 15 ppm CO2. What does everyone suggest?

Another thing I should mention is that I'm having a hard time finding any type of grassy plant or ground cover around here. Are there any cheap online plant stores that deliver to Canada?

With those specs I would suggest some java moss attached to some flat rocks, or even some dwarf sag or chain sword. Might even try some hairgrass.

I like aquascaper's suggestion. I find anubias to be pretty hardy, and easy to grow, in many conditions... low/moderate/high, co2 injected or not, etc. You might have some problems with algae, since the plant is somewhat of a slow grower and their leaves stay on the plant for a very long time, but with profer nutrient, co2, and lighting controls you shouldn't have a problem.
