If so, then it is a low light plant, but I haven't heard of an Echinodorus Angustafolia. If it is a sword plant, most swords (echinodorus) are medium to high light plants.

bensaf Fish Master Posts: 1978 Kudos: 1315 Registered: 08-Apr-2004	Cal, They can get too big to be an alternative to chain swords. They can get over a foot tall depending on conditions (good light). Augustifolia in plants normally refers to a variety with very narrow leaves. This will get as big as most other swords just that the leaves are much narrower and grass like. Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.

Only the illustration I found for it looked quite a fair bit like a tenellus, and I was wondering if it was another dwarf species ... Panda Catfish fan and keeper/breeder since Christmas 2002

jasonpisani Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 5553 Kudos: 7215 Votes: 1024 Registered: 24-Feb-2003	The name is correct & it's a runner Plant from Tropica. The number is 067B on their site & it's South American. Does anybody has one?. http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

They do look quite a bit like tenellus from pictures and it seems they can be grown as short if under the right conditions. Critical Fertilator: The Micromanager of Macronutrients
