The Shortest Grass Plant?

[Steveo McNello]

Hey everybody, I'm looking for some help [again].

I am looking for a carpet plant for the bottom of my 125, but one that doesn't get more than 4 inches tall, preferably less than that even.

I have black sand, and I add the proper dose of fertilizer once a week. I have 2.88 watts per gallon, but am capable of increasing that.

What are some plants you have had a good experience with?

Thanks!

Brazilian Micro Sword - Lilaeopsis brasiliensis, you can get it in bunches, 2"x2", 6"x6" or 12"x12" squares from Arizona Gardens azgardens.com.
The large (12"x12") square needs to be weighted down at first or it will keep floating up, after a week or so the roots start to take hold. Grows best with bright light and C02, once runners start it will spread nicely. Can be trimmed like a lawn.

Dwarf Hairgrass - Eleocharis parvula


This might be what you are looking for. But it requires HIGH light...

Hope that helps!
