Hints
Tie to a stone or root. Easy to care for and undemanding.
The dwarf spear leaf, as it is known by its German trade name, is one of the most popular aquarium plants of all. It is an excellent foreground plant that requires very little care. When planting, attention must be paid to the rhizome. This thickened shoot must not be covered with substrate. The small Anubias grows best when tied up on stones and roots (see Mbuna trees on page 78). The dwarf spear leaves are very often used for cichlids from Lake Malawi and Lake Tanganyika. Here they look particularly decorative between the stone structures.

The distribution of sword plants extends from the USA to Argentina. E. argentinensis is one of the larger species and requires sufficient space in an underwater landscape. It is very suitable for open aquaria, its strong leaves look decorative above water. With a little patience, flowering shoots with white flowers will also form. A nutrient-rich substrate and medium to good lighting are required.

For healthy, robust and colorful aquarium fish
Large ornamental fish need a granulated food that is not only well absorbed, but also ensures a reliable, balanced supply as a daily staple food. DuplaRin Granulat L was developed for precisely this requirement: A protein-rich formula combined with essential nutrients, minerals and trace elements supports the condition, development and long-term health of your fish.
The added vitamins help to strengthen the immune system, promote growth and increase the vitality of your aquarium inhabitants. Astaxanthin is a key visual benefit: as a natural colorant, it supports color intensity and ensures a lively, vibrant appearance.
DuplaRin Granulat L also impresses in everyday life thanks to its dimensionally stable and water-stable structure. The food remains available for longer without unnecessarily polluting the water - a plus point for stable water quality. In addition, the granules are designed in such a way that they first float, then float and then slowly sink. This allows you to reliably reach fish from different water zones, which is particularly practical in mixed stocks. Thanks to its high bioavailability, the nutrients it contains are absorbed efficiently, which improves feed conversion and can also reduce water pollution.Zoo Roco tip:Feed smaller portions of granulated food 2-3 times a day, which your large fish will consume within 1-2 minutes. Make sure that the food is evenly distributed in the tank so that lower-ranking animals can also get to the food. Remove uneaten leftovers promptly - this keeps the water quality stable.

Alternanthera reineckii 'Purple'Purple' is the largest variety of Alternanthera Reineckii. The red colored leaves make it a great plant for accenting.Difficulty of cultivation: difficultLight requirements: highCOâ requirements: highHeight of mature plants: 20-50 cmGrowth: mediumTemperature: 20-28°CPlacement in aquarium: middle ground or backgroundOrigin: South America6 cm cup diameterAlternanthera Reineckii 'Purple' is a demanding plant for advanced aquarists. It should receive a fertile substrate, strong lighting, an additional supply of carbon dioxide and a full feeding in the form of liquid fertilizer. However, even under favorable conditions, its growth is very slow. Alternanthera Reineckii 'Purple' is a secondary or tertiary plant. The top of the leaf blades are reddish brown, while the undersides range from purple to violet to dark red. The mature plant can grow up to 50 cm tall, but usually reaches no more than 20-30 cm in height. It spreads laterally by lateral stolons. To obtain cuttings, 7 cm long cut stems are inserted into the ground It presents best in the second or third level. In nature, it is a swamp plant that occurs in South America.
The best growth results are obtained when it is planted in an active substrate. The growth rate depends on the carbon dioxide concentration in the aquarium water. It prefers soft to hard water with a pH of 6 to 8. It depends on the availability of macronutrients in the water column and is sensitive to macronutrient deficiencies resulting in the loss of leaves in the lower part of the stem.
Plant it in closely spaced clumps. As it grows, it will form a compact group of adult plants.
Prune the plant regularly with sharp scissors. Frequent pruning helps the plant compact and grow. To maintain the dark red color of the foliage, the plant must be well exposed to light. In optimal light, it grows densely and the internodes are short, making it look much more attractive. It makes an interesting contrast to the many green plants in the aquarium. In open aquariums it grows easily to the water surface.Planting: The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed from the gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself. Divide the contents of the cup into 3-4 cm lumps and then place them in the substrate..

Notes
Â
The large Amazonas sword plant is perhaps the most popular plant in the aquarium hobby. Its leaves are 3â6 cm wider than those of the âamazonicusâ variety, and the height of up to 60 cm makes this species appear even more dominant. Mature clumps, some with more than 50 leaves, are a striking feature. However, the substrate must be at least 10 cm deep for the root system to develop properly. Combined with Helanthium species (dwarf Echinodorus), beautiful South American underwater landscapes can be created.
