🌿 Dwarf Hairgrass – Lush, Natural Carpet for Foregrounds & Nano Tanks

Dwarf Hairgrass (Eleocharis parvula) is a classic carpeting plant known for its fine, grass-like blades and soft, flowing texture. Perfect for foreground coverage in natural tanks, this plant creates a bright, low-growing field that mimics natural aquatic meadows — no CO₂, no fertilizers, just deep substrate and patience.

It spreads via runners and thrives in soil-based tanks with clean, stable water. Ideal for nano aquariums, shrimp tanks, and aquascapes looking for realism and balance.

💚 Why Choose Dwarf Hairgrass?

✅ Compact Growth – Stays low and spreads beautifully
✅ Creates Natural Carpeting – Mimics underwater meadows
✅ Fish & Shrimp Friendly – Safe, soft cover for fry and inverts
✅ No CO₂ or Ferts Needed – Grows naturally in enriched substrate
✅ Great for Nano Tanks – Perfect scale for 5–20 gallon aquariums

🌿 Father Fish Tip:

“Patience is key. Once Dwarf Hairgrass takes root in a deep soil bed, it spreads like a lawn. Trim occasionally to thicken growth and help new runners establish.”
