Hair Grass

Hair Grass (Eleocharis spp.) – Live Aquarium Plant

Hair Grass is a popular carpeting plant that creates a lush, natural grass-like appearance across the foreground of your aquarium. Its fine, bright green blades bring a beautiful aquascaped look and provide excellent cover for shrimp, fry, and bottom-dwelling fish.

With the right lighting and nutrients, Hair Grass spreads by runners to form a dense, vibrant carpet, making it a favourite for both beginner and experienced aquascapers.

Care Guide:

• Difficulty: Easy to Moderate
• Lighting: Medium to High
• Growth Rate: Moderate
• Placement: Foreground
• CO₂: Optional (recommended for faster growth and a thicker carpet)
• Temperature: 20–28°C
• pH: 6.0–7.5

Hair Grass is an excellent choice for creating a natural, professional-looking aquascape and adds movement and texture to any freshwater planted aquarium.
