you probably can order from Midori

Common name of Lilaeopsis brasiliensis is micro sword.

Colourful Aquarium(across from Thomson Medical Centre) carries it. It's a fairly slow growing plant and I'd recommend you try Echinodorus Tenellus instead. It grows faster and doesn't seem to succumb to green spot algae as easily as Lilaeopsis Brasiliensis(in my opinion anyway...).

P.S. This is what part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.

hmm... seems like i have to visit colourful tomorrow.. haha...
i don't really like E.tenellus.. the leaves too big and long for my tank..
prefer the micro sword that i posted.


From what I have experienced with both plants, they both grow to about the same height and have roughly similar leaf shapes. E. Tenellus does tend to grow upwards if planted as individual plantlets, but if you plant them in bunches of 3's, they will grow more compact. My opinion anyway and I guess the choice of plants is really up to the individual. Good luck with the hunt and remember to post pics when you're done.![]()

There's a similar one called Lilaeopsis novaezelandiae from New Zealand.
Lilaeopsis brasilensis is from Brazil. Not sure of the difference though, both have fairly stiff leaves compared to hairgrass.
Chendol-U graminifolia compared has very soft wavy leaves.

Lilaeopsis brasilensis from colourful got soft and wavy leaves leh..

I think compared to paper thin chendol plant, it's considerably less wavy or soft.

stan, you know where else got sell?

I got some from Colourful before aquarama but those sadly did not make it. I was given some by a friend who said it was of the tropica stock. It was a measly few strands but it turn out to be good stuff. I also experimented with not having any yamato or SAE. Just otos and cherry shrimp.
Finally growing.
