The Brazilian micro sword (Lilaeopsis brasiliensis) is a short-stemmed plant, that can be grown as a carpet in an aquarium. It is found throughout much of Brazil, and it grows both fully submersed and partially submersed on the banks of rivers and streams.
It will grow to a maximum size of 3 inches (7.5 cm) in a home aquarium, and will form a dense and impressive carpet if it is provided the right mix of CO2, nutrients and lighting. This can be a somewhat difficult plant to grow, and should only be attempted by aquarists who have some experience with aquatic plants.
Care:
Brazilian micro sword is primarily used in the foreground of an aquarium, and should only be grown planted in a nutrient rich substrate. I would strongly recommend using Flourite the premium substrate for aquariums, which provides essential nutrients to plant roots.
If you have any hope of this plant growing well in your aquarium, you will have to provide it with excellent lighting. It should be provided with T5 or T8 fluorescent lights, although some people have reported success with newer LED lights. You really should aim for a minimum of 3 watts per gallon, and any light provided should be direct light. With that being said, it can still be grown in shade, though its growth will be severely restricted.
This plant also requires the regular addition of fertilizers to the aquarium, and it should have nitrate, phosphate and micro-nutrients added to the water column. At the very least, I would recommend using Seachem Flourish Excel to help with the growth of your Lilaeopsis brasiliensis.
To really experience proper growth with the Brazilian micro sword, you will need to supplement the CO2 in your aquarium. For lush and steady growth, you have to strike a balance between current, dissolved CO2 and the depth of the aquarium to ensure that this plant can properly utilize the CO2

LIVESTOCK
- We guarantee live arrival on all of our livestock. In the rare event livestock shows up dead, we must be notified within 24 hours. Keep in mind these plants just took the journey of their lifetime in a dark box for 2-4 days so they will take time to recover and be at their best again. Please Take clear photos of the dead product and send it to us within 24 hours of receiving the item and once the item is validated by us we will send a replacement or refund minus the cost of shipping. Failure to comply with one or more of these policies will mean we can no longer cover you.
- If you are concerned about extreme heat or cold, we highly recommend having the post office hold your mail for the estimated delivery day. This is a completely free option which can be requested online via www.usps.com or in person at your local post office. This way, your package will remain indoors, protected, and out of the elements for you to pick up once the package has arrived.
- We guarantee live arrival of all live stock. This means we assure that live stock will show up alive. We do not guarantee your success in keeping the livestock alive/healthy. Lots of outside factors that we cannot control go into the success or failure of keeping livestock healthy. We are here to help but are not liable after you have received the livestock alive.
