Lab-grown and guaranteed free from snails, algae, and pests, it’s 100% safe for shrimp and all aquatic livestock. Ideal for indoor tanks, it thrives year-round with proper CO2 infusion and nutrient care, delivering a vibrant, high-gloss aesthetic that transforms any aquatic environment. ## Description Echinodorus ‘Quadricostatus’ from South America has characteristic light-green leaves 10-15 cm long which form a good contrast to the darker aquarium plants. It is most beautiful when planted in groups, each roset becoming 15-20 cm wide. In good conditions it produces runners which spread over the bottom. Very light leaves are a sign of a shortage of micro-nutrients. There is some confusion about the name of this plant, and it has been sold as Echinodorus bolivianus var. magdalenensis. Fast growing.
