The two types are definitely not the same. Dwarf is straight .. really straight while the jap version curls nicely and stay low with high light.

There can only be ONE
thanks a whole lot dude!
japanese hair grass and normal hair grass eventhough having the same scientific name, its does have a JP variant listed, the grass themselves look different too, once grows straight up like hair and the JAp variat, grow low and is curvey.
thanks for the insight.
Another question though, I saw C328 having some jap hairgrass in their chilled tanks. Does jap hairgrass require cold water like mosses? Or do they have the same requirements as normal hairgrass.
Similar requirements. Colder water is a bonus. 24-26C. Looks fresher and will grow bushier.

I have both type of HG.. i planted the two in for two days already in a low tech tank. The normal HG look fine but some of the Jap HG turn brown... the temp of the water is <27C... any advise...?
what is the max ht for both grasses?
Anyone have any pictures to show? Jap vs Drawf hairgrass?
may i know the requirement for jap hair grass ? does it need alot of light compared to glosso or HC ? any advice ?
i have japanese hairgrass creeping under low light (13W over a 25 cm cube)
oh is there mini hairgrass?
what's the ht if there is compared to hairgrass
there is no mini hairgrass per se. the difference is that japanese hairgrass curls while normal hairgrass grows straight up.
I have planted both and would say that jap hairgrass grows much slower (Some turn brown initially) but shorter and curlier than normal type. Looks better to me
Jp hairgrass seems to grow much slower and requires CO2 to grow, I have little success growing 2 pots since sept as i've been experiencing little or no success. I only started DIY co2 injection for 3 weeks and they are growing. However, when i went for a black out/stop co2 to combat cynobact for 5 days, most of them turning yellow and some leaves already gone dead.
Real hard if you don't have the right equipment.
My Japanese HG showing signs of rooting and runners after 6 days... hopefully those algae will be gone once I introduce a couple of Yamatos.
i don't find japanese hairgrass any harder to grow than normal hairgrass. mine's creeping in my low tech tanks
