The classification of this plant, along with almost all other 'Echinodorus' grown in the aquarium hobby, has recently been revised - these plants now belong to the new 'Aquarius' genus.

Aquarius 'Green Ozelot', commonly known as Echinodorus Green Ozelot, is a stunning sword plant that can make an excellent addition to the aquarium. The plant features vibrant green leaves with dark blotches that become more pronounced in high light conditions. This hybrid of Aquarius x schlueteri and Aquarius 'Barthii' is relatively undemanding, but it does appreciate a nutritious substrate to grow its best. The Green Ozelot Sword is an excellent plant for creating a natural-looking aquascape, and it pairs well with other plants and hardscape elements.

Aquarius 'Green Ozelot' is a very easy plant to care for in the aquarium. It can thrive in a variety of water conditions and lighting levels, making it a versatile choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists. However, to promote optimal growth, it is recommended to provide the plant with a nutrient-rich substrate and regular fertilisation.

The Green Ozelot Sword can grow 20-50cm tall depending on its environment, making it suitable for medium to large-sized aquariums. When provided with the right conditions, this plant can grow relatively quickly, and it is essential to ensure that it has enough space to spread out. Trimming the plant regularly can help to prevent it from becoming too large and overtaking the aquarium.

This beautiful Aquarius is an excellent option for many different types of aquascapes and its unique green and dark blotched leaves make it a popular choice among aquarists.
