Cryptocoryne crispatula
Cryptocoryne crispatula, with varieties such as balansae and tonkinensis, is an ideal choice for background decoration in aquaria. This water trumpet possesses impressive, often bumpy leaves with undulating edges that can take on a range of colors, given enough light. Cichlid aquaria with higher hardiness are particularly suitable for this plant, but it also works well in larger community tanks.
