Nice Fake plants?

I've got some fake plants in one of my tanks..they are the fake version of a real plant.

some of the fake ones look real when they are submerged and properly disguised. lace leaf swords, vals and ludwiga are some of the ones I have seen.
there are also some real plants that are low maint and easy to care for.

those may include anubias, java fern(rhizome plants) crypto's and java moss.

anubias and jave fern do not need to be planted and can be attached to driftwood.
 
looking on ebay at teh java fern, i really like them and they do seem to be easy to take care of. maybe ill get some of those.
 
This may be a dumb question but are aquatic plants specific to fresh and saltwater or can they survive in either?
 
they are specific..many won't survive in even brackish water.
 
anubias are also easy to care for and do well in low light tanks.
java ferns wil eventually produce new plants on old leaves..once roots/rhizomes apppear they can be removed from the parent plant and attached ..

I started with about 4 java ferns I now have 30+ and more every few weeks
 
I really like the look of the dwarf hairgrass, i'd like a nice carpet of that and the java fern on the driftwood. I think that would look nice.
 
you can use dwarf hairgrass but you need to get the light closer to 2 wpg.

at this level you don't need CO2

what size is the tank and what light do you have.
