Utricularia graminifolia - The CARNIVOROUS aquarium plant!

Utricularia graminifolia (UG) isn’t your average aquarium carpet — it’s a carnivorous bladderwort that looks like delicate grass but hides microscopic traps waiting to vacuum in tiny prey. In this video, I’ll show you how to keep it alive, how to actually get it to carpet, and why it’s one of the most unusual plants in the aquascaping world.

We’ll cover:
✔ What makes UG carnivorous (and safe for fish + shrimp)
✔ Tank setup, lighting, and CO₂ requirements
✔ Feeding & nutrients (and why you don’t need to add microorganisms)
✔ Why UG is easier in an established tank
✔ Common mistakes and pro tips to avoid them
