Echinodorus Fancy Twist is a popular type of Amazon Sword that has leaves ranging from bright green to blood red. Like most swords, they should be planted directly into the substrate. When using inert substrates such as sand or gravel, it is important to supplement the plants with root tabs as Echinodorus are heavy root feeders. The plant can be grown both emersed and submerged and often times, new leaves can grow to the top above the water line.  Overall, this plant is easy and undemanding and very suitable for larger tanks. A very colourful round leaf plant from green to purple. Fancy Twist is a very eyecatching plant to grace any aquarium. It makes for a stunning centrepiece plant.
