Like all echinodorus sp. chain swords like a nutricious substrate and take up a lot of iron. Critical Fertilator: The Micromanager of Macronutrients

The one thing I don't like about Dwarf Sags is that they produce runners below the substrate (quite deep down there) and thinning them out is a little messy as you disturb the substrate when pulling out a few plantlings connecte by the buried chain link. Pygmys are better as their runners are above the substrate. Ingo Proud Member of the New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club
