Cryptocoryne Spiralis 'Red' is a very special and beautiful plant native to Asia. It can be found from Bangladesh to India to the island of Sri Lanka. In its natural habitat, this Cryptocoryne grows along streams and rivers in forests and higher elevations with humid climates.
It is still little known in Europe and is considered a rarity in aquaristics, especially since it is rarely available in stores.
Cryptocoryne Spiralis 'Red' is characterized by its dark brown-red, narrow leaves, which are strongly wavy and resemble a stripe with a wrinkled edge. The leaves are grouped in a rosette. In appearance, this plant resembles another Zwittera variety, namely Cryptocoryne Cispatula var.
Red Cryptocoryne Spiralis contrasts well with green plants and is ideal for the background of the aquarium. It is original and unusual, making it an eye-catcher.
It is not very demanding in cultivation, does not require special care and does not need regular pruning. You just need to provide her with the right growing conditions.
It needs moderate light. It has no special requirements for pH, which is 6.0-7.0. It prefers moderately hard water up to 10°. The plant does not need any special fertilization as long as a nutrient-rich substrate is available. It is good if it contains an addition of clay and peat. It is also important that it is at least 5-7 cm thick, as this variety develops a rather strong root system. It has long, creeping stems and easily reproduces by spreading. To obtain a seedling, simply divide it.
Planting: The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed from the gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself. Divide the contents of the cup into 1-2 cm lumps and then place them at a small distance on the selected items

Anubias barteri var. glabraAnubias barteri var. glabra' or Anubias minima. This is a recommended species for aquaria with little light. Ideal for medium-sized tanks. The plant is easy to grow, does not require intensive fertilization and reproduces by dividing the rhizome. In vitro plant.Difficulty of cultivation: easyLight requirement: lowCO₂ requirement: lowHeight of the adult plant: 15-25 cmGrowth: slowTemperature: 20 - 22°CPlacement in the aquarium: Middle groundOrigin: AfricaCup diameter 6 cmAnubias Barteri Var. Glabra is a green plant from the Asteraceae family that is native to the swamps of Africa. It can grow both under water and in water. It can be found in the trade under the name Anubias minima. Unlike other Anubias, it is easy to plant in the substrate and has characteristic lanceolate leaves that grow up to 15 cm long. It can reach a height of 25 cm, but grows slowly so that it can also be cultivated in small aquariums.
The plant has a rhizome from which roots grow that wrap tightly around the spot where it is planted , making it ideal for planting on roots or lava rock. It is suitable for a second or third planting
Anubias thrives at different temperatures. It is suitable for cooler tanks as well as warm, tropical aquariums, e.g. with discus fish.It tolerates hard, soft, acidic and alkaline water. It prefers weak, diffuse lighting. It can become overgrown with algae under prolonged and intensive lighting. It is therefore advisable to plant it in darker or even shady areas of the aquarium.This plant does not like neglected aquaria and prefers the water to be changed regularly and no dirt to accumulate on its leavesIt grows slowly but forms a very attractive shape, especially in a group that forms a green, decorative clump. It feels very comfortable in tanks with a low water level and looks great in 'dachshund' type aquariums, where it creates the effect of an aesthetically pleasing tank. Thanks to it, we can create very interesting compositions. It is also well suited for aquariums with cichlids and other herbivorous fish
It does not require special care, it is enough to remove older leaves, which stimulates the rhizome to form cuttings. If you want to obtain new cuttings, you can regularly divide the rhizome into 2-3 cm long sections.
To attach the Anubias to roots or stones, a very thin string, thread or a special adhesive for attaching aquarium plants is sufficient.
The in vitro culture of plants is carried out in tissue culture laboratoriesThanks to the sterile production conditions, the cuttings are free from snails, algae or pathogens.Planting:The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed of the gel under running waterThis is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself.

Red mosquito larvae are very popular with ornamental fish lovers as a high-quality source of live food, as they provide a rich source of protein and important nutrients.These larvae come from the midge species Chironomus plumosus and are typically reddish-brown or orange in color. They are not only rich in protein, but also contain essential fats and minerals that help to promote the health of ornamental fish. Red mosquito larvae optimally supplement the fish's diet and promote their growth and resistance.When feeding, it is important to give the right amount to avoid overfeeding and potential water quality problems. Only give as much food as your fish can consume in a short period of time. Excessive feeding can lead to rotting in the aquarium and affect the water quality, which can lead to health problems in the fish.
Instructions for feeding live food:It is important to wash live food before feeding to remove potential contaminants, bacteria and polluted water and to protect the health of ornamental fish. Here is a guide to washing live food:Place the live food in a strainer or colander and rinse thoroughly. This is best done with aquarium water or non-carbonated mineral water.Now pour the live food into a clean container and cover it with a little aquarium water. Leave the food to stand for 5-10 minutes.Now pour off the waterThe food can now be given to the fish. Even with the greatest care, it can happen that food animals die due to temperature fluctuations or incalculable events during transportation. We accept no liability for this.

Cryptocoryne x purpurea from South-East Asia is a rare aquatic chalice. It is a natural hybrid between Cryptocoryne griffithii and Cryptocoryne cordata. The type described here originates from Borneo with an unusual marbling of the leaf blades. Its growth is significantly slower than that of other known species of water calyx in the aquarium hobby. With a growth height of approx. 10 cm (previous cultivation experience in the aquarium), it remains relatively small in size and can therefore be used well in the foreground, depending on the size of the tank. As with all Cryptocorynes, a nutrient-rich substrate is very important, as many nutrients are absorbed via the roots.Aquatic plants in vitroIn vitro plants are cultivated in the laboratory under sterile conditions. They are supplied in a 7cm closed container. The small plants are completely free of algae and snails and can be planted directly. This product group is ideal for smaller aquariums and nano cubes as well as for modern aquascaping.
