| DaMossMan Fish Guru Piranha Bait Posts: 2511 Kudos: 2117 Votes: 359 Registered: 16-Nov-2003 | It may be Echinodorus Amazonicus.. I don't know for sure, are you sure ? I thought E Bleheri and E Amazonicus were the same ? I already have what I think is 3 Bleheri, if Amazonicus is a different species you may be right, as they look very different. Anyone know for sure ? Thanks for the compliment on the tank, low light at the moment, 1.4 wpg. I do not recommend that to you if you are are starting with plants. Shoot for 2wpg minimum. Note - all the swords are very recent additions so I'm curious to see how they will do in this light. Last edited by DaFishMan at 18-Aug-2005 16:52 The Amazon Nut... |

| DaMossMan Fish Guru Piranha Bait Posts: 2511 Kudos: 2117 Votes: 359 Registered: 16-Nov-2003 | I think clownloachfan is on the mark. I did some checking on the web at several pics and the 3 narrow leaf pointys appears to be E Amazonicus - Amazon Sword. The smaller 3 hiding in the back appear to be E Bleheri - Broad-Leaf Amazon Sword. There is definately a difference in the width of the leaf, alot of people get these 2 plants confused (including me lol) The Ozelot has a new leaf 2 inches in size, nice and reddish, cool !
