Botanical Name: Echinodorus amazonicus
Amazon Sword makes an excellent background plant for your aquarium. When Amazon Sword is planted alone, it can be an impressive centerpiece of your aquarium. Its lush green leaves stands out especially against a dark background. When many Amazon sword plants are grown together they can create a thick green “forest-like” effect in your aquarium. This can aid in hiding your filter and heater.
