something grassy

Darkblade48 · 11-03-2009, 12:57 PM

Dwarf Hairgrass, Dwarf Sag, Microsword are all kind of grassy.

C2C · 11-03-2009, 05:47 PM

already have dwarf sag looking for something that stays smaller

Darkblade48 · 11-03-2009, 10:04 PM

Have you taken a look at my other suggestions?

C2C · 11-04-2009, 12:41 AM

yea i cant decide between the 2 whats easier to grow

trigun808 · 11-04-2009, 11:27 AM

Both are easy to grow, i like the dwarf hairgrass because its faster and i like the look compared to microswords
you could try ug (utricularia graminifolia) grassy foreground and i think its fairly eady to grow

**Solid** · 11-04-2009, 06:01 PM

C2C · 11-05-2009, 09:39 AM

Glosso, HC, Marseila and maybe HM come to mind.

C2C · 11-05-2009, 05:29 PM

doesnt hc get tall
whats hm

HC is the most low-growing foreground aquatic plant known to the hobby right now. But good lighting and CO2 are required.

HM is HC's taller, stemmier cousin, but it too will creep outwardly instead of upwardly, as long as there is good light and CO2.

HM = Hemianthus micranthemoides (Baby Tears)
HC = Hemianthus callitrichoides (Dwarf Baby Tears)
