Looking for more plants to keep a lid on hair algae! I do water changes, but I think more plants would help.

For dwarf hairgrass, CO2 is what you need for it to grow quickly and thickly. It'll grow more slow, otherwise. Also make sure to have some root tabs in the substrate nearby.

Also, that water lily, if its the kind you can get at PetSmart, will probably be the biggest plant in your tank.
