Cryptocoryne lucens

This hardy crypt grows in clumps, mostly emersed in nature, but does quite well in aquariums with low to medium lighting, temperatures between 70 and 82 degrees Farenheit, and a pH range of 6.5-8.0. It’s rich green color and resemblance to grass make it an excellent foreground or mid ground plant, and provides cover for small fry and shrimp. Its compact size and shape (maximum 6″) make it a great choice for very small aquariums.
