About the Green Ozelot Sword

The Ozelot Sword (Echinodorus 'Ozelot') is a hybrid aquatic plant renowned for its distinctive, mottled leaves and adaptability, making it a favorite among aquarium enthusiasts. Here's how to care for this striking plant:

Light Requirements:

  • Moderate to High Light: While the Ozelot Sword can tolerate low light conditions, providing moderate to high light enhances its vibrant coloration and promotes healthier growth.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: Maintain water temperatures between 73-83Β°F (23-28Β°C) to support optimal growth.
  • pH Level: A pH range of 6.5-7.5 is ideal, though the plant is adaptable to slightly acidic or alkaline conditions.
  • Hardness: Soft to moderately hard water is suitable for the Ozelot Sword.

Substrate:

  • Nutrient-Rich Substrate: As a heavy root feeder, the Ozelot Sword thrives in substrates rich in nutrients. If using inert substrates like gravel or sand, supplement with root tabs to provide essential nutrients.

Nutrients and COβ‚‚:

  • Fertilization: Regular supplementation with iron-rich fertilizers supports vibrant leaf coloration and robust growth.
    Β 
  • COβ‚‚: While not mandatory, COβ‚‚ injection can enhance growth rates and overall plant health.
    Β 

Pruning and Maintenance:

  • Trimming: Regularly remove yellowing or damaged leaves to encourage new growth and maintain the plant's appearance.
  • Size Management: The Ozelot Sword can reach heights of 12-15 inches (30-38 cm). Ensure adequate space in the aquarium to accommodate its growth.
    Β 

Propagation:

  • Adventitious Shoots: The plant propagates through runners that develop plantlets. Once these plantlets form sufficient roots and leaves, they can be separated and replanted to cultivate new specimens.
    Β 

Special Considerations:

  • Algae Control: Monitor for algae growth on leaves, especially under high light conditions. Maintaining a balanced ecosystem and introducing algae-eating species can help manage algae proliferation.
  • Fish Compatibility: The Ozelot Sword is generally left alone by herbivorous and large fish, making it suitable for various community tank setups.
    Β 

By providing appropriate lighting, nutrient-rich substrate, and regular maintenance, the Ozelot Sword can become a vibrant and enduring centerpiece in your aquarium.

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.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

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.
