Started an EcoPico 8 gallon

Dwarf hair grass .. a lotus plant but have to trim the leaves once they reach the top ..

There's no way I'd recommend DHG for that setup. It's not cheap and you'll most likely lose it because of the light and co2 requirements. I can frag some lotus for you to try if you like; it's of the reddish variety. I can send it with Dre.

With a stagnant betta tank, would there be any benefit to adding a moss ball?

I know, and I was recommending against it. DHG is a med-high light with co2 or excel unless you dry start, which isn't what he's looking to do more or less. I think he'd rather keep the setup the way it is and just get a plant that suits his setup.

If you don't mind turning the marimo every now and again, it doesn't hurt. Adds to the oxygen and I think they're cool

Yep, I just want 1 or 2 more smaller plants to add with the hornwort for variety, that will do well with low intermittent lighting.

I built a gu10 led light for my pico for around 20$
