Ech. barthii will grow to anything from 25 to 50 cm. depending, ofcourse, on light, ferts and CO2. Tendency is, that Echinodorus grow bigger with more light, ferts and added CO2.
I agree, that colour is lovely, indeed - and colour will develop (though not to full potenthial), even with less light and no added CO2.
- so where to place your E. barthii, depends a lot of your tank set-up...........

Hi. My tank is 200liters and I have 4x t5 ho light bulbs (I have them on for 8 hours,first two on for 2 hours them all of them for 4 hours and then last 2 hours I have just back two bulbs on.) I use pressurised co2 and as fertiliser I use root tabs ones a month and Ei dosing altering everyday and Sunday 50% water change. Do you think I should turn all 4 bulbs for 8 hours? I don't want to run into a algae problem.
That would be my guess, yep
