Sword Amazon Compacta (Echinorodus bleheri 'Compacta')

I just received several plants and they were all very healthy, clean and well packed. I am looking forward to watching them grow.

This little Amazon is by far the best looking of all my Amazons. Took to re-planting much better than his big bros !

I ordered these for the mid-ground and the ones I received are already more than 4 inches, so I think they'll work fine. Healthy well developed plants. Very satisfied.

These have suffered a great Pleco beating, but are still trying to soldier on. They are smaller than I expected as well topping out at 3 to 4 inches. And they came with snails.

Mine arrived a little small, maybe 3 inches but it is healthy and they grow fast. 4 stars for a healthy plant none the less.

This variant of amazon sword is really neat. It looks just like a full sized E. Bleheri, but it only gets to about 10" tall. Even with my hard water it grows new leaves once every 2 days. Very hardy plant.

This little gem grows amazingly fast but some how remains under six inches! Quite incredible, especially since it retains the stately elegance of E. bleheri, the archtypical sword plant. A must have in any South American collection, especially nano aquariums. My plant arrived beautiful and healthy.

These plants do not stay small. They look great at the start, but once they start growing, they turn into normal amazon swords. I have one in my tank that is now over 14" tall. They were healthy and grow great, but they are anything but compact.

These are great mid to foreground plants that are easy to grow. Many will have or develop plantlets that can be grown into other plants.
