JazzyJeff Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Can anyone tell me what sort of sword this is... http://naturalaquariums.com/plants/echinred.html is it freely available? I am looking for some smaller swords that won't take over the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 I have something almost identical to the plant on the RHS. Its not exactly common but occasionally someone will sell it. I think alanmin is selling some plants at the moment, so have a look to see if there is anything you like. Plants like that need good light to maintain that colour; and the colour can get much much more intense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzyJeff Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Thanks P44 - I didn't notice that ad... I have pm'd him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 I don't think it is one I have or have even seen. However as P44 they will need good light and nutrient to go realy red and stay red (if they are a red variety) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JazzyJeff Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 VERY NICE P44... what variety is that? You have some quite spectacular plants that never cease to impress me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Thanks. The first one is a barthii or barthii X and the second one might be a hybrid between red special , red rose and / or something else. Forgotten now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
