Echinodorus parviflorus (Black Amazon Sword)

Echinodorus parviflorus, commonly known as the Black Amazon Sword, is a hardy rosette plant prized for its broad leaves, compact growth habit, and deep green coloration. Compared to traditional Amazon Swords, it tends to remain shorter and more compact while still creating an impressive centerpiece within the aquarium.

Its robust leaves and easy-going nature make it an excellent choice for beginner and experienced aquarists alike. As it matures, it develops a dense rosette that provides structure, contrast, and shelter for fish and shrimp.
