I added Echinodorus Reni to my 20-liter tank and it has grown well in just a few weeks. The leaves turn a deep red when exposed to good lighting, which adds a nice contrast to the tank. It’s easy to care for and doesn’t take up much space. I’m happy with the color and growth rate.

The plant arrived healthy and has been thriving in my aquarium. I provide plenty of light and regular nutrient dosing, and the red coloration is quite striking. It’s a good choice for a small tank with limited space.

This variety is smaller than others in the Echinodorus family, which makes it perfect for a compact setup. The red leaves are vibrant and show up well under medium to high light. I’ve kept it for over three months and it’s still growing steadily.
