Description
Echinodorus Red Devil is the result of combining a few species of Echinodorus. This variant is very attractive and features deep hues of green and ruby red. While most sword species have the potential to grow quite large, Echinodorus Red Devil is considered to be on the smaller side of the spectrum with a max height of around 11-12 inches. This makes it suitable for smaller planted aquariums, but will equally work beautifully in a mid ground placement in very large tanks. Relatively easy to keep, Echinodorus Red Devil should be planted in a nutrient-rich aquarium substrate and provided with quality lighting. In order to encourage deep red tones, more lighting should be given in addition to a regular fertilizing schedule. CO2 injection is optional.
