Has anyone ever kept one of these?
I kinda like their look.

Looks like a ruffle Amazon sword to me lol.

That's exactly what it is but I was curious if it was more demanding than the standard sword. Smarty pants.

Lol never kept em but plant doesn't look too bad. Personally I like Red Melon Echinodorus. I like the leaves on those better

Ruffles are Echinodorus martii, their care is the same as other swords. I was looking at a very large one the other day, but they want $50 for it.....

That's a lot of money. The link I posted has them for $3.29. I'd rather start with a small one and grow it than spend $50.

It's much larger than most mother plants people sell, it would fill half a 29 gal.

Yeah it was at one of my regular haunts. I just put a bunch of geo fry in a larger tank to speed growth so I can make a trade.
