π‘οΈ Harbich Sword β Compact Rosette Sword for Foreground & Midground Beauty
The Harbich Sword is a compact, slow-growing variety of Echinodorus that forms tight rosettes with broad, rounded leaves. Unlike taller sword plants, this one stays short and tidy β making it perfect for foreground or midground placement in natural aquariums.
Its bushy shape provides great coverage for shrimp and smaller fish while blending beautifully into soil-based tanks using the Father Fish method. No COβ, no dosing β just tuck it into rich substrate and let nature take over.
