Helanthium bolivianum, also known as the Chain Sword or Bolivian Sword, is a popular aquatic plant in the aquarium hobby, recognized for its broad, elongated leaves and ease of care. This plant belongs to the Alismataceae family and is originally found in tropical regions of South America, particularly in Bolivia and Brazil.
In the aquarium, the Bolivian Sword is a great choice for aquascaping due to its attractive appearance and hardy nature. It can tolerate a wide range of water conditions, including low light levels and a variety of temperatures, making it suitable for both freshwater and brackish water aquariums.
Bolivian Sword is a versatile plant that can be used in a variety of aquascaping designs. Its long, broad leaves make it an excellent choice for creating a focal point or adding height to the background of the aquarium. It can also be used to create thick borders or as a filler plant in larger aquariums.
To grow Bolivian Sword successfully, it is recommended to plant it in nutrient-rich substrate and provide moderate to high lighting. CO2 injection is not necessary but can help the plant grow faster and more vigorously. The plant can be propagated by taking runners and replanting them in the substrate.
Bolivian Sword is a great plant for aquarists of all skill levels who are looking to add natural beauty to their aquarium.
