About the species

This American Eleocharis has a fresh grass green color and grows 20-40 cm tall. It is basic and low maintenance. Each straw is only a few millimeters thick and the plant maintains an open form of growth.

It is suitable as a background plant and can also be planted in front and in the center of the aquarium, in transparent wadding, to create depth and perspective. The plant spreads through runners, which need to be pruned from time to time and perhaps planted elsewhere.

FAQ about Eleocharis montevidensis

How do I attach Eleocharis montevidensis?

Divide the moss into thin portions and attach it to rock or wood with thread or aquarium-safe glue. Thin layers receive better circulation and usually grow more evenly.

Does Eleocharis montevidensis need CO₂?

Most aquarium mosses grow without added CO₂, but steady CO₂, balanced nutrition and stable lighting can produce denser growth.

How do I keep Eleocharis montevidensis looking good?

Trim regularly and remove loose pieces and debris. Good circulation around the moss reduces trapped dirt that can inhibit growth.

Is the moss suitable for a shrimp aquarium?

Yes, moss provides a large biofilm grazing area and fine hiding places for shrimplets. Always check that the plant is clean before adding it to the aquarium.
