Echinodorus "Red Flame", or Red Flame Sword plant, is one of the easiest red colored sword plants to grow in the aquarium. It is very similar to the Red Ozelot Sword in terms of appearance, but features larger splotches of red that run along its leaves. It is an easy plant to care for and can thrive in Low Light Tanks, but the stronger the lighting, the more colorful the leaves will become. It can grow pretty large, making it a terrific choice for a background plant.
