Narrow Leaf Chain Sword

Echinodorus tenellus or Narrow Leaf Chain Sword is a hardy species of aquatic plant that can be used to cover the foreground of your aquarium provided the appropriate conditions. This plant will spread through your tank using horizontal runners.

This species of plant thrives best using a nutrient rich soil with additional fertilization (our preferred soil is the Brightwell line and it can be found by clicking here). If not provided with enough nutrients it can decrease the ability of this plant to spread. Inclusion of CO2 in the aquarium will increase the plants ability to grow.

*Rapid changes in tank parameters can result in the melting of the plant
