The ozelet sword is one of the most attractive aquarium plants I've owned. The picture does not do it justice. In the home aquarium, it will grow new, different-looking leaves more suited to the new environment. Mine replaced the old leaves very quickly. They came in dark red, then grew to be olive green with rust splashes, 4-5 inches long and 2 inches broad with elegant wavy edges. My fish and shrimp also seem to like it, as they are often found resting and searching for food on and under the leaves.
