Echinodorus Ozelot Narrow Mini Live Freshwater Aquarium Plant
Echinodorus ‘Ozelot Narrow Mini’ is a compact sword plant variety featuring narrow green leaves with distinctive dark red to brown spotting. This mini form stays smaller than standard Ozelot swords, making it an excellent choice for midground placement in community and planted aquariums where space is limited.
Like other Echinodorus species, Ozelot Narrow Mini is hardy and adaptable, thriving in a wide range of conditions. It does not require CO₂ injection and performs well in low- to mid-tech setups, though stronger lighting and good nutrition will enhance leaf color and pattern contrast.
