Fun Fact: The name “Kleiner Prinz” translates to “Little Prince” in German. This plant is a cultivated variety of Echinodorus developed for its compact size and striking reddish leaves, making it a perfect focal point in smaller aquariums or tighter aquascapes.
Appearance: Kleiner Prinz Sword features elliptical leaves with a rich reddish-brown hue that intensifies under high lighting and good nutrition. Its compact growth makes it an excellent choice for midground planting, unlike larger sword varieties.
Habitat: Though not naturally occurring, it is derived from South American sword plants that inhabit slow-moving rivers and flooded forest areas.
Aquarium Use: Excellent for adding a splash of color and structure to planted aquariums. Its smaller size allows it to fit into midground areas without overwhelming the aquascape.
Care: This plant prefers stable conditions, moderate lighting, and a nutrient-rich substrate. Root tabs can help boost growth. It grows steadily without the need for high maintenance.
Propagation: Propagates via adventitious plantlets formed on a flowering stalk. These can be separated and replanted once they develop roots.
Note: Kleiner Prinz Sword is ideal for both beginners and experienced aquascapers looking for a colorful, low-maintenance plant with a compact form. Its slow to moderate growth rate makes it easy to manage in most aquariums.
Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
