    Crypts are the quiet workhorses of a natural tank. They're low-light, slow and steady, and they spread by runners.

    • Low-light tolerant
    • Root feeders that are right at home in soil
    • Colors from green to bronze to red

    The Father Fish way: plant about one inch into the sand cap with the crown at the sand line, then leave them in place. Crypts often melt back after planting. Trim the melted leaves and new ones will follow.
