"We might going to need this type! The import requirements from the Asian countries are getting more strict therefore it is more difficult to offer Vallisneria species. The Eleocharis species could replace the vallisneria nana! It grows straight up beautifully and can become 20-40 cm high. When it has reached the water surface it will continue to grow horizontally! Still it won't give a lot of shad because it is so thin. You can also nicely place it in little bushes together, diagonal across the aquarium. It will create depth while you can still look straight through it!!"
