Plant Name: Giant Hairgrass (Eleocharis montevidensis)
Care Level: Easy to Moderate
Recommended Substrate: Nutrient-rich substrate or aquarium soil
Recommended Lighting: Moderate to high lighting
Recommended Temperature: 68-82Β°F (20-28Β°C)
Max Plant Size: Up to 20 inches (50 cm) in height
Foreground, Midground, or Background?: Background
Need CO2?: Not required, but grows faster and fuller with CO2
Fun Fact: Despite its name, Giant Hairgrass isnβt actually βgiantββbut it does grow significantly taller than Dwarf Hairgrass, making it perfect for creating a grassy, meadow-like backdrop in aquariums. It sways beautifully in water currents, adding movement and texture.
Appearance: Long, thin, grass-like blades grow vertically in clumps. It forms a dense, flowing curtain when planted in groups, with a soft green color that complements nearly any aquascape.
Habitat: Native to North and South America, typically found in marshes, shallow ponds, and the margins of rivers and lakes.
Aquarium Use: Excellent for background planting in nature-style tanks, where it can mimic a natural grassland or wetland look. Also used to soften hardscape elements like rocks or wood.
Care: Very adaptable and undemanding. Prefers stable parameters and benefits from root tabs or a nutrient-rich base. High light and CO2 will result in faster spread and lusher growth.
Propagation: Propagates by runners that spread out from the base, gradually filling in large areas if conditions are favorable.
Note: Giant Hairgrass can be trimmed to control height and prevent overshadowing smaller plants. Itβs a great plant for adding height and movement without being too bulky or blocking light.
Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) Iβve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
