i want to know that what can be easily grown-
1)HM or glasso?
Ans: HM. I think you misspelled you are thinking about HC.
2)hair grass or cobra grass or star grass?
Ans: Hair grass is a easy foreground plant while star grass is midground/background plant.
3)which is hardy x'mas moss or java moss? its for the rock.
Ans: Xmass is a hardy moss in comparison of other mosses.
4)for corner any small size crypt recommended??or any hardy and cheap red colour plant for one corner?
Ans: Most of the crypts are bigger in size and not suitable for your 10inch cube tank. Only Crypt parva and tropica are small in size as per my knowledge.

Install a C.P.U. fan. It will control the temperature upto 25 degree celcius.

thanks alot rajeev sir.. Hemianthus Micranthamoides is a foreground plant??
again few more question..
1)ok then one bunch of Hemianthus Micranthamoides, one bunch of hair grass, 25 star grass, and moss for the rock would be sufficent for that size tank? i love to see the tank fully occupied with the plants.
2)generally how many plants are in the one bunch?
3)short hair grass or long hair grass?
4)tell me about lighting and filter(do i need filter, will keep only one betta in this)?

Ans: Hemianthus Micranthaamoides is midground plant. One bunch of hair grass, star grass is background plant so u need only 8-10 plants, moss depends on the size and area of rocks.
2)generally how many plants are in the one bunch?
Ans: Hair grass bunch have 100 plants, other steam plants are sold as per plant basis, moss bunch size have a area of 3X3 inch.
3)short hair grass or long hair grass?
Ans: E.parvula is short in size maximum 1-2 inches depends upon conditions.
4)tell me about lighting and filter(do i need filter, will keep only one betta in this)?
Ans: Light 23 watt CFL will be sufficient to grow your mentioned plants. You can also opt LEDs.
If you are going to keep only a single betta, there is no need of filter. But you can install a small powerhead filter.

Hi Rahul, I can give you free some stems (10-12) of ludwigiaRepens,Hemianthus Micranthaamoides. I can send to you these plants by courier. You can also buy plants from Raj (Mumbai), I think he will also send small fishes by courier.
