Glossostigma elatinoides is commonly used as a foreground plant in aquariums.  Plant several pots of Glossostigma in the desired areas and then watch them expand to form a dense carpet.  Glossostigma elatinoides can also be purchased on cocofiber mats to help create an instant foreground in 2 different sizes.  Make sure to have ample lighting to be successful with this foreground plant.
