This "small amazone sword plant" is probably the most popular aquarium plant available. It is just a bit wider than the grissibachi and just a bit smaller than the bleheri (nr. 800). The amazonicus can become very big and have more than 50 leaves. This kind of species are also for sale at Songrow! Take a look at Giants! Combine this Amazonicus with various smaller echinodorusses and the South American river will appear out of nowhere!"
