Cryptocoryne longicauda

Cryptocoryne longicauda is found in the rivers and coastal wetlands of Sarawak, Borneo, where it grows both submerged and emergent depending on water level. Its long, narrow, dark green leaves give it a slender, graceful silhouette quite different from the broad-leafed Borneo Crypts, and it can reach 40 cm when fully established as a background plant in a spacious aquarium. It adapts reasonably well to aquarium conditions but benefits from soft, slightly acidic water and a mature, stable environment.
