   Micro-Sword Grass is a great foreground decoration because if supplied with a high enough light intensity, it can actually achieve a dense "lawn-like" appearance!

   Micro-Sword Grass resembles typical grass seen on house lawns which is where it gets the common name of "grass." It only grows 4 to 7 inches in height, making it ideal for foreground aquarium plant cover. It has a moderate growth rate, but can grow more quickly if provided with more intense light. In general, this plant is relatively easy to care for. Keep the water at a fairly neutral pH with plenty of nutrients. It can survive in either hard or soft water.

Some of the coolest comments:
I recently bought micro sword online to add to my 29 Gallon fresh water aquarium. They came in 6 little bunches that looked pretty bad when they came but as they started to mature in my tank they spread like weeds and gave my tank a great natural look. I have a 20 watt POWER-GLO which promotes coral, invertebrate and plant growth. I also added a CO2 defuser to my tank which i feel really promotes plant growth. I am very pleased with the look MicroSword has given my aquarium and would highly recommend this for any planted aquarium.
