Random Amazon Sword (BOUND)
9.15.26. We have a bunch of random swords FULLY UNDERWATER GROWN.
MIGHT BE SKINNY. Might be Fat. MIGHT be an Amazon, might be a pointy. MIGHT be a Decumbens. MIGHT be an Argentinensis.
We have kept Amazon Swords in lower light conditions where they have also done well. The biggest thing for good Amazon Sword growth is food. Amazon Swords love to “eat”. We have seen them do OK with out a decent substrate but they would likely enjoy a dose of nutrient to keep them lush. Ideally, you want to have Amazon Swords in a planted tank that has a large amount of nutrients available in the substrate. Amazon Swords are heavy eaters and will prefer this setup.
Small Amazon Swords are $8 and are anywhere from 2-5 inches in length.

Received a small Amazon Sword that looks healthy. It grew well in my low-light tank with regular nutrient dosing. The plant is sturdy and spreads nicely over time.

The sword arrived in good condition. It’s a bit skinny, but it’s still growing well. I added a nutrient boost and now it’s fuller than expected.

Great value for the price. The plant adapted quickly to my tank setup. I noticed it’s more vibrant after adding a nutrient-rich substrate.
