Dwarf or Short hair grass is an excellent foreground plant that has an easy spreading habit.  Planted in small clumps it will soon start to spread to form a green carpet across the front of the aquarium rooting firmly in the substrate.  Although preferring a well lit aquarium, once established it will spread to even shaded areas of teh aquarium.  This needs to be fed on a regular basis and obviously kept under control.
