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 a chance of harmless hitchhikers like snails or dwarf shrimp tagging along with your plants!
I personally keep several beneficial snail species in my tanks, including Colorful Ramshorns, Bronze Bladder and Pond Snails, Mini Rams, and Malaysian Trumpet Snails. These snails stay relatively small, help clean the aquarium, and do not eat healthy plants or cause harm. However, if you’d rather avoid any hitchhikers, I highly recommend checking out our blog on how to safely disinfect aquarium plants before adding them to your tank:

All plants are freshly snipped or harvested and packed right before shipment. I take great care in preparing every order and use methods that have consistently produced the best results over many years in the hobby. A lot of love goes into every package, so please don’t leave your plants sitting in a hot mailbox for too long 🙏
Thank you for looking, aqua friends! 💚
