Amazon Sword<\/h3>\n
\n\tThe Amazon Sword<\/a> is one of those aquarium plants that takes it’s place at the back of your aquarium. It’s leaves are a bright shade of green that will help create a depth to your aquarium. The roots establish themselves well and the plant will spread out nicely.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Anubias Mini<\/h3>\n
\n\tThe Anubias family come in various sizes and shapes. The great thing about them is that they can be tied to your decor and they will grow in place. This gives you new opportunities when it comes to planting. Just make sure not to smother the roots in the substrate as this will cause them to rot, killing your plant. Our favourite is the Anumbias Mini, or Anumbias Petite<\/a>, which forms a short cluster growing leaves.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
