Hi folks,
My tank was meant to be simple but amazing - Eleocharis Vivipara along the back wall to create a wavy natural look, and Eleocharis parvula as a carpet.
The Parvula is spreading SLOWLY, but i think it will look good in a few months. The Vivipara is growing like crazy! But the thing is, its not tall wavy grass, as it tangles its self up into a big mess! So twice a week i need to cut it downs, try to thin it out (but in the clumps it forms thats really tricky!!) so its just not working out!
SO, can someone suggest something to replace it with? I want tall thin plants to line the back of my aquarium like a wall. Ideally it would be a lighter/brighter green than the vivipara as its quite dark. I am thinking not a grass type plant as the same thing will happen.
THanks :)
