🗡️ Altlandsberg Sword – Unique Sword with Deep Green Texture (Echinodorus ‘Altlandsberg’) | Natural Aquarium

🗡️ The Altlandsberg Sword (Echinodorus 'Altlandsberg') is a lesser-known rosette sword prized for dense, rounded leaves and deep green color. Built for a natural aquarium, its thick foliage forms a compact base that gradually fans out—perfect for midground or background planting in Father Fish–style soil systems.

Why it’s great for a natural aquarium

• 🪴 Rare, textured growth—adds contrast and structure
• 🐟 Natural shelter—great for shy fish and shrimp
• 🌱 True root feeder—thrives in deep, natural substrates
• 💧 Adaptable—low to medium light, no CO2 or dosing
• 🔁 Low-maintenance—slow growth with minimal trimming

Care

• Placement: midground to background (size-dependent)
• Lighting: low–medium
• Growth rate: slow
• Substrate: rich soil base with a sand cap
• Tank size: 10 gallons and up

🌱 Plant the crown at sand level and avoid moving it; roots will run under the cap and the plant will slowly form a lush, leafy anchor.

Father Fish tip

“Let it settle and stay put. Swords reward patience with steady structure and balance.”
