A beautiful red centerpiece plant for your aquarium!
Echinodorus 'Kleiner Bar' is a medium- growth sword, and only reaches about 12" tall, and 8-10" round. Very nice size for a smaller aquarium.
Under decent lighting, it will form a nice rosette of ruddy brown leaves with green highlights.
Most sword plants are fairly tough-wearing, and this variety is no exception. Wonderful for nippy or digging fish such as cichlids, loaches and rainbow fish.
Bettas and guppies love to rest and sun themselves on it's broad leaves!
Potted, well-rooted specimens are 4-8" tall.
EMERGENT-GROWN
Growing requirements:
- 65-80 Degrees Fahrenheit
- Ph 6-8
- Medium- high light intensity. (for best color)
- Slow growth speed
As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there’s always a chance of harmless hitchhikers like snails or dwarf shrimp tagging along with your plants!
I personally keep several beneficial snail species in my tanks, including Colorful Ramshorns, Bronze Bladder and Pond Snails, Mini Rams, and Malaysian Trumpet Snails. These snails stay relatively small, help clean the aquarium, and do not eat healthy plants or cause harm. However, if you’d rather avoid any hitchhikers, I highly recommend checking out our blog on how to safely disinfect aquarium plants before adding them to your tank:

All plants are freshly snipped or harvested and packed right before shipment. I take great care in preparing every order and use methods that have consistently produced the best results over many years in the hobby. A lot of love goes into every package, so please don’t leave your plants sitting in a hot mailbox for too long 🙏
Thank you for looking, aqua friends! 💚
