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 the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers!
Customer Reviews
Arrived big and healthy. I planted it in my tank (with CO2 injection) and placed a root tab under it and it started pushing a lot of new growth rapidly after only 4 days. I'm so impressed! Existing growth was a lovely bright green. New growth in my CO2 injected 29 gallon is a gorgeous deep burgundy.
Unfortunately, all the leaves fell off. I put the rhizome back in the tank and wait. Does this plant melt?
I love this sword! It is growing well and the coloration is beautiful!
Pretty but small
