amazon swords

[StevieM]

hello all,
just wondering what kind of growth requirements Amazon Swords need, I just got two of them for me tank and forgot to ask about their requirements, but my setup did not differ in looks ( bulbs ) from my lfs. I know what they use for their bulbs in there as the guy recommended what they use for my tank when I had some questions a while back. I would basically like to know how difficult these are to keep and if anyone had some recommendations for me, thanks

If you don't have a substrate designed for plants, get some plant fertilizer tabs w/iron and place 1 down in the gravel right against the roots. Amazon Swords are heavy root feeders. I've grown them in .7 wpg but they do better with much more.
