Carex for aquarium use

I don't think so. It inhabits wetland areas but I don't think it grows submerged.

It belongs to the family Cyperaceae, of which Cyperus sp. are a member of. Cyperus helferi is suitable for the aquarium and can be grown completely submerged with great success. I've had it before and it is a gorgeous plant! Cyperus alternifolius is also suitable, but it needs a shallow tank as grows emersed.
