Cryptocoryne albida

Cryptocoryne albida is a slender, small Cryptocoryne from Myanmar and Thailand with very narrow, strap-like leaves that may appear olive-green to brownish-pink depending on water conditions and light intensity. Under brighter lighting the pinkish colouration of the leaves intensifies, earning it the popular name Pink Flamingo Crypt. It stays compact at 8–15 cm, making it an excellent foreground species for smaller tanks. It is moderately sensitive to water quality changes and appreciates stable conditions with soft to moderately hard, slightly acidic water.
