Hairgrass Eleocharis parvula

Hairgrass is a popular choice for aquariums, renowned for its ability to create a lush, green carpet across the substrate. Native to freshwater environments in regions like North and South America, it thrives in temperatures between 22°C and 28°C (72°F and 82°F) and prefers a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5. Its runners spread out to form a vibrant, natural look that mimics underwater meadows, and it comes in a pot to enhance the visual appeal of your tank.

This plant’s fine, grass-like leaves add a delicate texture and enhance the sense of depth and dimension in your aquarium. Relatively easy to maintain, Hairgrass requires only moderate lighting and nutrient levels to thrive. It is well-suited for both experienced aquascapers and beginners, offering a simple way to introduce a touch of natural elegance to your underwater landscape. Whether you're creating a serene aquatic garden or a lively display, Hairgrass brings a refreshing and beautiful element to any aquarium.
