It doesn't look like any type of grass that I know of. maybe Southern Naiad? www.hoosierpondpros.com http://www.pondboss.com/subscribe.asp?c=4 3/4 to 1 1/4 ac pond LMB, SMB, PS, BG, RES, CC, YP, Bardello BG, (RBT & Blue Tilapia - seasonal).

This allow it to "fluff" up and show its natural state. Taking photos of aquatic plants is pretty tricky...try some water in the dish and watch for glares that obscure the photo. Fish on!, Noel
