This beautiful plant is a hybrid between Echinodorus horemanii 'Red' and Echinodorus horizontalis. It was first produced in 1986 by Hans Barth in Dessau and is 25-40 cm high and a rosette from 15-25 cm wide. New underwater leaves are a beautiful pink, and initially the leaves have reddish-brown spots.
A nutrient-rich soil promotes growth, but otherwise Echinodorus 'Rosé' is undemanding and thus an excellent plant for beginners.

Trim regularly and remove loose pieces and debris. Good circulation around the moss reduces trapped dirt that can inhibit growth.
Yes, moss provides a large biofilm grazing area and fine hiding places for shrimplets. Always check that the plant is clean before adding it to the aquarium.
