Echinodorus Ozelot Green Sword Live Plant

Echinodorus Ozelot Green Sword Live Plant is one of the most popular freshwater aquarium plants among UK aquarists, prized for its broad, ruffled green leaves and easy-going nature.

Native to South America, this Amazon sword variety thrives in a wide range of tropical fish tank conditions, making it an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced fishkeepers.

This live aquarium plant grows best in a nutrient-rich substrate with moderate to high lighting, though it can tolerate lower light levels with patience.

Regular use of root tabs or liquid fertiliser will encourage faster growth and larger, healthier leaves.

Once established, the Echinodorus Ozelot Green Sword can reach an impressive height, providing excellent background or mid-ground coverage in a planted tank.

Beyond its striking appearance, this sword plant offers real benefits for your aquarium ecosystem.

Its dense leaf structure creates shelter and hiding spots for shy fish and fry, while helping to naturally reduce nitrates and improve water quality.

It pairs beautifully with tropical community fish such as tetras, guppies, and dwarf cichlids, and is a firm favourite in planted betta and community aquariums alike.

At CU Aquatics, every live plant is carefully quarantined and inspected before dispatch, ensuring you receive a healthy, pest-free specimen ready to settle into your tank.

Whether you’re building a lush planted aquascape or simply want to add natural greenery to your tropical fish tank, the Echinodorus Ozelot Green Sword Live Plant is a fantastic addition.

It’s a low-maintenance choice backed by our expertise as a dedicated online tropical fish store.
