    Hello all, I have been growing hairgrass in my tank's foreground for 2 months. I noticed that BBA has been growing on the tip of them. I wonder if I should trim the hairgrass to get rid of the BBA, or get couple SAE to eat them. Any advice?

    I would recommend you just cut off the top half. They'll grow back soon.

    Personally, i've had a bad experience with SAE, so I'm a little biased when I talk about this species.
    Cheers,

    I will advice the same, cut the tip. if it is not that much you can try to area treatment using excel. Also up your CO2 and improve your water circulation. I also have bad experience with SAE, they grow big very fast and difficult to capture
