How big does Blyxa japonica get? I have a standard 5.5 gallon and I want a talll grassy plant, but not too tall!

Blyxa would be a background in that tank most likely. Its a much larger plant than hairgrass. However, Blyxa japonica doesn't get absurdly huge, and I doubt it'd get overly large. I think it'd work.

Yeah I wanted to get the grassy background look. Thanks! I'll try it.

It can get to about 10" tall by about 4"+ wide. One way to keep it smaller is to break the side shots apart and to replant periodically.
