Add vibrant pink and reddish tones to your planted aquarium with Cryptocoryne Albida Red. This rare Cryptocoryne develops narrow leaves with intense coloration and markings similar to Cryptocoryne Nurii, making it a standout choice for collectors and planted aquarium hobbyists looking for something less common.
Cryptocoryne Albida Red is an extremely slow-growing plant that rewards patience once established. Its coloration can range from pink and red to deeper earthy tones depending on growing conditions. Suitable for both low-tech and more advanced planted aquariums, it performs well under low to moderate lighting. CO2 injection is not required but can be provided to support stronger growth.
Like other Cryptocoryne, allow the plant time to establish a healthy root system after planting and avoid unnecessary moving or disturbance while it settles in.

About Our Live Aquatic Plants
Aquarium plants can vary in growth form and may require time to transition to your aquarium environment, whether grown submerged or emersed. This transition period is a natural part of establishing healthy, long-term growth in planted aquariums.
From carpeting plants in the foreground to stem plants and larger species used in the midground or background, each plant offers a unique contribution to a balanced and natural aquascape. As plants adapt, it is normal to see minor changes such as leaf melt, color shifts, or new growth patterns as they settle into their new conditions.
We carefully inspect and prepare all live aquatic plants prior to shipping. While we do our best to minimize hitchhikers, we cannot guarantee plants to be completely pest or snail-free unless tissue culture options are selected.
Because live plants are perishable, some signs of transit stress may occur, including leaf loss or cosmetic damage. These are typically temporary and when when healthy roots are present, most plants will recover with proper care.

About Our Tissue Culture Plants
Tissue culture aquarium plants are grown in sterile, laboratory conditions, ensuring they are free from pests, algae, and snails. These young plants are cultivated in nutrient-rich gel and are grown in emersed form before being introduced into the aquarium.
Tissue culture plants are best for aquascapers looking for clean, controlled plant material, especially for shrimp tanks or sensitive setups. Before planting, the gel media should be gently removed, and the plant can be divided into smaller portions for planting.
With proper care, tissue culture plants transition quickly and establish into healthy submerged growth.

Came in great!
"Initially, I was somewhat concerned because one of the containers had discoloration on the roots. However, after I removed the plant from the container, I found that the roots were nice, healthy and strong. I'm looking forward to watching this crypt grow."

Great customer service!
"My first one didn’t come in so great but the team at glass aqua made it right and fast! They shipped out a new cup and it was stunning! The carrier messed the last one up but this one is amazing and I’m letting it grow in a little longer before submerging it! So happy to have this one"

Poor quality
"I recevied 6 pots of crytocoryne albida red, 3 of them with the best quality, 3 more with a strange gray color."
A beautiful plant, I love it.
"Cryptocoryne Albida Red has an unusual color that creates interesting contrast in my planted aquarium. A good amount of perfectly healthy starts in this little cup (in-vitro tissue culture). I’m very happy with this purchase."
