It is anything but easy. The fiirst two shipments were half dead, but I
managed
to pull out maybe 30 blades of living grass and cultivate them.

I wonder if it's grown emersed, llike microsword? I've tried it twice now, and
both times most of the blades died. Then they grew back, shorter than they
were. But they never really thrived, and eventually just kind of faded away.

BTW, the variety I'm referring to is Eleocharis acicularis

I tried the acicularis and the parvulus. Neither did very well for me. Didn't
really have an algae problem, though. There wasn't enough of it to collect
mulm or algae. And the shrimp and otos spent a lot of time cleaning it, when I
had it.
