Amazon Swords are a staple in aquaria. Growing up to 60cm tall they are an ideal background plant.  Being relatively easy to keep they are perfect for creating a dense and lush green backdrop for most aquariums. However this plant may not be suitable for aquaria under 60L due to its impressive height and dominant root systems.
