    Hi all... Just some photos to show some of these nice Echinodorus plants which I have been keeping for awhile...

    They are mostly slow growers and due to their deep colors of their leaves, they are also called 'Deep Green' in Chinese & the variants which I have are the Opacus & Satan species..


    Echinodorus Opacus Rataj


    Echinodorus Opacus Verde


    Echinodorus sp Satan 'Dream 1995'


    Echinodorus sp Satan 'T2000'


    Echinodorus sp Satan 'Hope light' (in Chinese)

    Hope you guys enjoy and feel free to share more of these pretty echinodorus plants in this thread..

    A very nice plant which I got from Alvin here



    The shrimps loves to chill out near the plant, you have to see them with your real eyes to know that they are pretty!

    Anyways this is the verde

    Test test, this is my Echinodorus Opacus Verde. Taken with phone camera, thus the image doesnt really account for the beauty of this plant.

    Those look rather big. The ones I got from bro Alvin looks something like them. Have to wait for his reply to confirm heh.
    For those who wants to know more about this plant, you can check it out at this blog which i've gotten from the above bro who posted the link.

    He gives a quite detail explanation on this plant.

    Hi bro fhan, its the same species but different variant... Based on Opacus 'Goncalo', that species should be quite big upon maturity.. Leaves, rate of growth, parameter, are all quite similar.. What i have are mainly the smaller variants which are more suitable for shrimp tanks or tanks that doesnt really exceed 2feet... But of cause, they are extremely slow grower with a huge network of roots... For bros who have seen or gotten these plants from me, they will know that the roots of these plants are somewhat scary long... hahahaha...

    Would hope that more Echinodorus keepers share their photos whatever is the species or variants.. More to learn about these plants...

    I use to have Ozelot Red... But finally decided to plant Opacus & Satan instead...
