I love them! Theyre pretty but also soooo interesting to watch. After lockdown is done, i want more to increase the group. I think they will feel more comfortable in a bigger group. They do hide a lot during the day and only come out at night. But theyre sooo cool.

Got this quick video of my reddish one while i was doing water changes last night.

Looks great, and even the black neons are schooling left and the neons right! Close up of the gourami is amazing.

Ill never get another shot with both schools so perfectly divided haha
My black neons like the upper level while my normal neons like the lower level. They make a really nice balance together

Theres about 4 plants back there. I know 2 are bleheri for sure. One is a slightly smaller one, when i got it it had red blotches on the leaves which i think isnt a bleheri thing... the other i dont know. It grew from a plantlet. The original plant was so damaged the store sold it to me on discount and its grown back lol

I love sword plants. The reddish blotches make me think ozelot, but it is a melon sword which spread more horizontally with rounder melon leaves. My ozelots always retain their spots too, so that can't be it. They look the same to me haha! I know I have one type of amazon sword because they all came from one plant. But I think there is a more narrow leaved amazon sword and a wider one, I don't know which one I have or what's common lol.

That one sword is huge though! I think it's the one from your 20g? Anyway, it might look wider leaved but also it is just bigger. So I can't really tell. Looks awesome though!

Ill have to dig up an old photo of the original plants...

But the one larger one is my monster sword from my 20g yes. Its massive, considering my 46g is 24 inches deep.



This was that monster sword when i first got it... every one of those leaves rotted off. The store worker didnt put it in a big enough bag for the trip home and it dried up. But now loom at it in my 46g.

And this is my other sword that had red splotches on it. Was also coated in algae that my platies ate right off of it.

Its now the one on the very farthest left in my 46g. I have some runners from it now in my 20g growing out.

Any clue?

Can you post more pictures of the swords, I can't really tell from these.

Those are all ive got of them with the original leaves. Those got broken off after awhile and now theyre longer and thinner on each plant.

This is a single leaf off my largest sword, from a couple months back

I'm confused, on that 2nd pic above it looks like the leaves are rounded, that just seems so on the picture?

They are rounded in those photos, because thats how they looked when i bought them months ago. They no longer have those leaves. Im showing what they looked like before.

Now theyre the big mass of swords in my big tank
