Eleocharis acicularis is the classic, fine?leaved hairgrass that brings soft, natural movement to aquascapes. Taller than the mini version, it grows into a light, grassy cluster that works beautifully in foregrounds of larger tanks or as a midground accent in nanos. Tropica’s 1?2?Grow cup ensures a clean, algae?free start.
