Echinodorus tenellus 'Micro Chain Sword'

E. Tenellus is a great carpeting plant for high tech aquariums which has a good supply of CO2 as well as a nutrient rich substrate. Under high light E. Tenellus ‘Micro’ can get fairly tall considering the ‘Micro’ in its name;  the ‘Micro’ stems from the fact that the leaf blades are significantly thinner in comparison to regular E. Tenellus.
