Eleocharis Acicularis : Where to Buy ?

[dreamfish]

Hi, I am looking for the Eleocharis Acicularis, it looks very similar to other hairgrass species such as Eleocharis Parvula which is the common version sold here, aka dwarf hair grass. However, Eleocharis Acicularis is double the height of Eleocharis Parvula.

Went to Capricorn Aquarium at Pasir Ris Farmway, Seaview and also searched Mizuworld website, they all did not have this plant.

Any ideas where to get this plant, seems pretty hard to find ? Thanks in advance.

Not sure if its of any help.

I saw it once long time back in C328.

More recently saw a similar plant (did not ask) in seaview.

Very rare in Singapore, LFS don't sell them, you can get it either in Malaysia and HK. I got mine from HK previously. It can grow taller than the picture shown, cos i trimmed them to the height i want.

Nice blue33 that's what I'm talking about ... so hard to find ! Malaysia also don't know where they are selling, and HK not going there anytime soon. Sigh .... wondering anybody willing to sell me a bunch

Those are normal hairgrass. The TS want is those long hairgrass. Eleocharis Acicularis has 3 types, normal, medium and long version which i've seen all of them before.

I think East Ocean just posted that they have. Maybe you want to check it out?

East Ocean already indicated is "Normal hairgrass". Not sure why LFS don't bring in the long version.
