Echinodorus Felix: A Spotted Beauty for Your Aquarium

Discover the striking beauty of Echinodorus Felix, a freshwater plant with uniquely spotted leaves that adds vibrant color and texture to any aquatic landscape.

Overview

The Echinodorus Felix, often called the “Felix Sword,” is a captivating aquatic plant celebrated for its distinctive spotted leaves. New foliage emerges in shades of red, gradually maturing to a lush green with vibrant red or reddish-brown spots. This cultivar of Echinodorus ‘Ozelot Green’ originates from Germany and adds a splash of unique color to the midground or foreground of your aquarium. It’s a relatively small plant, typically reaching a height of 10-20 cm, making it suitable even for smaller tanks.

Care Level

Echinodorus Felix is considered an easy-care plant, making it a great choice for beginners and experienced aquarists alike. It thrives in a nutrient-rich substrate and benefits from occasional fertilization. While it doesn’t strictly require CO2, it will promote healthier growth.

Tank Essentials

This hardy plant prefers a stable water temperature between 20-28°C (68-82°F) and a pH range of 6.0-7.5. It thrives in moderate to high lighting conditions, enjoying 8-10 hours of light per day. A minimum tank size of 50 litres is recommended to allow for its growth.
