Cryptocoryne Wendtii Pink Panther – IC185

ADA has given this Cryptocoryne the name ‘Pink Panther.’ It has unusual pink tones and appears to be related to Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Flamingo.’

Cryptocoryne Pink Panther, often known as Crypt Flamingo, is a popular pink Crypt aquarium plant. When planted in an aquarium, its characteristic ruffled leaves and rich pink color add a special touch. New leaves are bright pink at first but fade with time to a brilliant pink that goes nicely with any water plant. 

Crypt Flamingo, like all Cryptocoryne, is relatively easy to grow and manage once established in a planted aquarium. In a well-established planted tank with CO₂ injection and adequate light, this aquatic plant will thrive and experience much better development.

The optimal site for Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Pink Panther’ is in the midground to the foreground. It’s best to have good lighting and a nutrient-rich bottom.
