Taller and Wilder Hairgrass

[Savant]

I am looking for the taller hairgrass amongst those commonly available (hopefully at C32, can the expert bros kindly advise as to which hairgrass (common/japanese) grows taller and wilder?

[freezze]

This kind of hair grass is the tallest i had seen.. (see pic)

Okay... where did you get them and what is their name?

[CK Yeo]

Eleocharis vivipara but they grow plantlets at their tips, which can be quite annoying.

Ah... then its not the hairgrass I want... Is thre any normal hairgrass that grows to a decent height (I'm looking at abt 3-4 inches) or do they all do?

Then try the normal hairgrass. Japanese hairgrass curls. If you want some japanese hairgrass or want to see how high they grows, you can come my place to have a look.

Cheers

The normal hairgrass can grow to 3-4 inches. mine did in a high tech tank and needed weekly trimming

My Dwarf HG bought from Ben grew up to 6 inches before I trimmed them.
So much for the "dwarf" part

Okay... I am planning my new CRS scape in my new 1.5ft cube...

Plan to use HG as background behind some of my iwagumi rocks on one side of the tank, and UG in front of the rocks.... I suppose UG grows lower than HG?

This is the tank in question...
