Echinodorus x barthii, sometimes known as the red melon sword. The leaves change colour from dark-red in the youngest leaves
to dark-green in the oldest. The colour develops well when the light intensity
is high and there are sufficient micro-nutrients in the aquarium. This is a beautiful background plant for any aquarium.
