Echinodorus cordifolius 'Tropica Marble Queen' is a variety cultivated by Oriental Aquarium in Singapore. Plants grown in marshy conditions have beautiful marbling which sometimes fades under water. The plant demands a relatively large amount of light, and CO2 addition is recommended to promote growth. It is very suitable for low open aquariums, where the leaves above water have clearer marbling. The leaves also resist drying out.

Echinodorus 'Ozelot' is a hybrid between Echinodorus schlueteri 'Leopard'and Echinodorus barthii created by Barth in Dessauin the former East Germany. It is beautiful withelliptical black spotted red-brownish leaves and a very short petiole. The black spots has, of course, inspired the name 'Ozelot'. In contrast to many other spotted and flecked plants Echinodorus 'Ozelot'maintains the spots regardless of light intensity andother environmental factors. Older leaves, however, tendsto have dark-red spots rather than deep black as in the younger leaves. Echinodorus 'Ozelot' is a sturdyplant and accepts most environmental conditions. If the conditions are sub optimal the plant just grow more slowly and a bit smaller. Author: Tropica
