Eleocharis Acicularis | Dwarf Hairgrass
Having Eleocharis Acicularis Dwarf Hairgrass in your aquarium is a very good thing because fish and bacteria use up oxygen continually through respiration, and need oxygen to survive. Many plants are also suitable and beneficial for cold-water setups. Eleocharis Acicularis, Dwarf Hairgrass, is a slender little tufted pond plant with needle-like stems, each terminating in a brown spikelet. Little maintenance is required.
Only leaves that photosynthesize below the water surface can oxygenate an aquarium. The best plants are those whose leaves grow underwater. They also remove nitrates, which helps to reduce algae and keep the water clear, meaning once established, many may be grown much deeper if sunlight can reach them.
