Aponogeton crispus looks good in any aquarium with its light-green,
transparent leaves. It makes few demands, although growth is always best in
soft, slightly acidic water with a nutritious bottom. In such conditions the
plant produces a mass of leaves, and it flowers very frequently in optimum
conditions. A. crispus is generally found in ponds that are only filled
with water in the rainy season, but it does not need a dormant period in the
aquarium.
