This unusual, rare Cryptocoryne comes from rivers in the southwest of India. Already introduced decades ago under the name Cryptocoryne consobrina, it remained very rare in the aquarium hobby and was virtually unavailabe in the trade.

Sivadasan’s water trumpet develops very narrow, up to more than 50 cm long submerged leaves and forms a tuft of several leaf rosettes. In contrast to many other Crypts, the plant does not form long runners, therefore it does not spread unchecked in the tank. Cryptocoryne sivadasanii hasn’t high requirements and tolerates hard water. It is propagated by cutting daughter rosettes from the base, another interesting form of propagation of this species is the development of young plantlets from buds on broken-off roots.

With its look that resembles a narrow-leaved Vallisneria and its controllable growth Cryptocoryne sivadasanii is very interesting for the aquascaping. It is best placed in the background to midground of taller aquariums. According to its origin from flowing waters, it should also be an appropriate plant for stream biotope tanks.

Key Characteristics

Appearance It produces very narrow, elongated leaves with slightly wavy or crinkled edges that can grow up to or more than 50 cm long. The leaves are typically olive green, sometimes with a reddish-brown hue depending on conditions, and grow in a tuft of several rosettes.
Growth Habit Unlike many other Cryptocoryne species, it does not form long, spreading runners, making it easier to control in an aquascape. Propagation is mainly by cutting daughter rosettes from the base or from plantlets developing on broken-off roots.
Aquascape Use It resembles a narrow-leaved Vallisneria and is best placed in the midground or background of taller aquariums. Its leaves sway in the water current, adding a sense of movement to the tank.

Care and Maintenance

Difficulty: Easy to care for and adaptable, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced aquarists.
Lighting: Thrives in low to medium light conditions, though it can tolerate higher intensity light if acclimated properly.
Water Parameters: It is quite hardy and tolerates a wide range of water conditions, including hard water.
Temperature: 22–28°C (72–82°F).
pH: 6.0–7.5.
Substrate: As a heavy root feeder, a nutrient-rich substrate (such as aquarium soil or root tabs) is highly recommended for optimal growth.
CO₂: Not strictly required, but CO₂ supplementation will enhance growth and color.

Note: Like many Cryptocoryne species, it requires stable conditions and dislikes being moved once planted. Drastic environmental changes can lead to “crypt melt,” where the leaves turn mushy, though the plant usually recovers from the healthy root system if conditions stabilize.
