Sagittaria subulata, commonly known as Dwarf Sag, is a fast-growing, grass-like aquarium plant perfect for creating a natural carpet or grassy foreground. Its long, narrow leaves bring a clean, wild look to aquascapes and can quickly spread through runners.
Ideal for both beginners and experienced hobbyists, this plant adapts easily and fills in empty spaces, making your tank look lush and established.
Fast-growing and easy to maintain
Spreads quickly via runners (natural carpet effect)
Great for foreground or midground layouts
Perfect for shrimp and community tanks
Creates a natural grassy aquascape
Approx. 6–12 inches (see photo for reference)
Tall variant — can stay short or grow taller depending on conditions
Lighting: Low to High (more light = shorter growth)
CO₂: Not required (but enhances growth)
Growth Rate: Fast
Placement: Foreground / Midground
Temperature: 20–28°C
pH: 6.0–7.5
✅ Yes — excellent for shrimp tanks
Provides hiding spots and grazing areas
1 healthy bunch of Sagittaria subulata
Comes with weight/foam (remove before planting)
Trim roots and separate before planting for best spread
Will send out runners quickly once established
Height varies depending on lighting and nutrients
Even though plants are washed before sending, I have snails and duckweed in my aquarium room so there is a small chance you may get a few hitchhiker.
