This is a good plant under high or low light. It makes a wonderful foreground plant, and has strong roots so clown loaches can't rip it out. Oto's like to rest on the leaves, and under higher light it grows faster. Watch out for leaf melting problems if it can't get any light.

I have a variety of this that has very reddish-bronze colored leaves. I had to move tank and found I had quite a few runners and had more plants than I knew what to do with when replanting. They done quite well since. Give them plenty of light and let them be.

A tough one to transplant once it's rooted, so beware. I lost my main crypt as well as all the young plants when I had to transport the tank. However, when not moved and kept under bright light, this beautiful plant thrives and propagates beautifully.

I find this to be pretty much a fool proof plant for me and find that it fares better and proves hardier in my tanks than even anubias and java ferns. For beginners to planted tanks I would highly recommend this plant.
