About this plant
Red Crypt Wendtii adds warm bronze-red color among your green plants. Place it around the middle of the tank and leave space for its leaves to spread.
Is this right for me?
A manageable plant option when you can provide the light and placement listed below. Follow the planting steps rather than burying every plant in gravel.
How to place and care for it
Plant in suitable aquarium gravel or plant soil. Give it time to settle in and leave room for the leaves and new shoots to spread.
Light and placement
Light: Low to Medium aquarium lighting. Place it: Middle of tank. No extra CO2 needed. CO2 means carbon dioxide, a gas plants use to grow. Adding extra CO2 needs separate aquarium equipment.

Live animals travel best when someone is home: bring the box inside as soon as it arrives and keep it out of the sun or cold.
Live Arrival Guarantee. If an eligible animal arrives dead, take a photo in the unopened bag and one on a paper towel, then email hello@tailsandfin.com within 12 hours of delivery. Snails can rest up to 5 days and plants about 15 days to settle. Read the full policy.
Acclimating: float the closed bag for 15 to 20 minutes, then add a little tank water every few minutes for 30 to 60 minutes (shrimp like it slow), net them into the tank and pour the bag water away. Keep the lights low for the rest of the day.
Why Tails & Fin
Shop with peace of mind
Start small with hardy species: a few cherry shrimp or nerite snails, plus moss and low-light plants. They are forgiving while you learn, and we are happy to help you plan the first week.
