Description

Echinodorus ozelot Green is a striking hybrid sword plant distinguished by its bold dark spotting across bright green, oval leaves. The contrasting pattern gives each leaf a mottled, almost leopard-like appearance that stands out clearly against both pale substrates and darker planted backgrounds.

It is easy to keep, requiring only medium light and no CO2 injection to perform well. Like all Echinodorus, it is a root feeder and responds well to a nutrient-rich substrate or the addition of root tabs placed near the base of the plant.

Supplied as an established potted plant, Echinodorus ozelot Green typically reaches 20–35 cm in height, making it ideal for the midground of aquariums from 100 litres upward. Its distinctive spotted leaves make it a popular focal-point plant in nature aquarium and community planted layouts alike.

Product FAQs

Helpful details before you buy.

What causes the spotted pattern on the leaves?

The dark spots are a characteristic feature of the ozelot hybrid, a cross between Echinodorus schlueteri and Echinodorus barthii. The pattern is genetic and stable.

Does it need CO2?

No. It grows well under medium light without CO2, making it suitable for low-tech planted aquariums.

How large does Echinodorus ozelot Green get?

It typically reaches 20–35 cm in height, making it a good midground plant for aquariums of 100 litres or more.

Will the spots fade over time?

Spotting is most pronounced on younger leaves. Older leaves may become more uniformly green, though the pattern remains visible on actively growing plants.

Is it compatible with plant-eating fish?

It is hardy and its thick leaves are not easily damaged. Most community fish will leave it alone, though very large herbivorous cichlids may nibble the leaves.
