Eleocharis acicularis is a fine-leaved hairgrass ideal for creating soft green carpets in planted tanks. Perfect for foreground layouts, it adds movement and natural texture with steady growth.
C30 Eleocharis acicularis, commonly known as Hairgrass, is a timeless aquascaping plant widely used in Iwagumi and nature-style aquariums. Native to wetlands and riverbanks across the world, this plant features longer, flowing grass-like blades compared to Eleocharis parvula, giving aquascapes a more dynamic and natural appearance.
It spreads through runners and gradually forms dense carpets when provided with nutrient-rich substrate, stable water conditions, and adequate lighting. While CO₂ injection is optional, it significantly improves growth rate, carpet thickness, and overall health.
Eleocharis acicularis is adaptable and suitable for both low-tech and high-tech planted tanks, though medium to high light is recommended to prevent excessive vertical growth. The plant is completely shrimp-safe and fish-safe, making it ideal for community aquariums and shrimp tanks.
