    Is it Echinodorus tenellus that you are referring to? Hairgrass from what I know do not turn red.

    Red hairgrass would be a real hot seller.

    red hairgrass...punky..very punky. I think I will take a few pots too. You think Teo's would do a variagated version? Anyway, if your harigrass is turning redish brown, it means it dying, check your parameters of your water. I doubt it is your lighting.

    Actually some of mine is also also have red/brown leaves (with green ones as well). Used to grow well until I stopped pumping CO2. Furthermore, I recently rescaped the tank so trim off quite a big to kick start it to grow. Previously grow very well. I was thinking it was due to my fish food.
