Dwarf Hair Grass (Eleocharis parvula or Eleocharis acicularis) is a popular foreground plant known for its ability to create a vibrant, grassy carpet in freshwater aquariums. Its thin, grass-like blades sway gently in the water, adding a natural and dynamic touch to aquascapes. Dwarf Hair Grass spreads through runners, forming a dense, lush carpet that enhances the aesthetics of any tank. It is an excellent choice for aquarists looking to achieve a natural, well-manicured look.
