Cryptocoryne wendtii ''green'' is suitable for small aquariums. When
grown in an open space the leaves will virtually lie on the bottom.
Like most other Sri Lanka Cryptocorynes, it also grows well in hard
water. Like many other plants, it can be affected by cryptocoryne
disease. One way to prevent this is by only leaving the 4-5 newest
leaves on the plant when planting. It is a good foreground plant, even
in small aquariums. See other Cryptocorynes for further information on
the Tropica Web Site, See:

I would recommend Glossostigma elatinoides...

Glossostigma elatinoides is much in demand in Japanese-inspired
aquariums. It is one of the smallest aquarium plants, and thus a good
foreground plant. A difficult plant demanding a lot of light. Grows
upwards if light is poor. Make sure larger plants do not overshadow it.
When planting in the aquarium small clumps (approx. 1/8 pot) should be
placed at intervals of a few centimetres to help the plants grow
together more quickly. CO2 addition and soft water promote growth
significantly.
