Create that carpeted underwater prairie of your dreams with Dwarf Hairgrass!
This species (Eleocharis acisularis) grows about 2-4" tall, and spreads laterally, through root nodes.
Excellent for sheltering baby shrimp or fry, and for growing excellent bio-films to improve the health of your whole tank.
As most plants, Hairgrass will grow quickly in high-nutrient water, but it isn't strictly necessary for survival. Trim regularly like grass for the neatest look!
One clump is emergent- grown, and will be about 3" tall.
As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there's always the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers!
