Hi guys,
Reacently ive been upgrading my tank to high tech and i need some help with choosing plants that can take the heat.
Im looking for a red foreground plant that's bushy but at the same time easy to maintain
Some type of carpeting plant if there is any that can do with medium light that would be awesome
A few different types of green bushy plants for the foreground

My tank has a co2 kit ready to go liquid ferts, soil where the plants will be planted and the fluorescent lights can be turned from low to highish. I will be upgrading to a dimmable led when i can afford it.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks filip, I love the Alternanthera sp.mini is there also a green version? I already have the sagittaria subulata so thats a win. A staurogyne r carpet with Bacopa compact would be awesome. are all these plants need the same care?

I'm not sure about Althernanthera green.
I forgot the Starr grass and hydrocotille tripartita.Beautiful fore and midground bushy plants.

And yes,I had them all in my discus high tech tank with temps.sometimes well above 30 C and they all thrived.
