The Ozelot Sword is actually a cross between two Echinodorus plants, therefore letting it develop both a beautiful and unique red color that comes from the golden-red and pale red-brown of the two plants it is crossed with!
Barbara - 2006-02-14 i love my ozelot sword! this is a great plant for those who have failed at keeping other red leaved plants due to light requirements. This plant will easily adapt to your aquarium, and each plant looks a little different according to its setting. i have found it much easier to keep than the other swords. be sure to give it ample room to grow, and in a few months it will look as if it had been growing there forever. i think there is a place for an ozelot sword in every freshwater aquarium!
