Care Tips: Cryptocoryne affinis is a versatile aquatic plant that works well in the midground or background of aquariums. It grows best under low to medium lighting conditions, making it a suitable option for low-tech tanks. The plant thrives in slightly acidic to neutral water with stable parameters, so it's essential to keep the water conditions consistent. Cryptocoryne affinis features broad, green leaves with a somewhat elongated shape, adding a lush and full look to aquascapes. It is a medium-grower, which means it will establish itself steadily without taking over the space. Trimming the plant periodically helps maintain its size and shape. This plant can adapt to different types of substrates but thrives best in a nutrient-rich one. When purchased in tissue culture form, Cryptocoryne affinis is free from pests and algae, ensuring a clean and healthy start in your aquarium. Like most Cryptocoryne species, it is sensitive to sudden changes in water parameters, so it's important to keep the environment stable for optimal growth.
