What types of aquariums and tanks do you offer?

We offer a wide range of aquariums and tanks suitable for freshwater, tropical, marine, and coldwater setups. Our selection includes nano aquariums, large display tanks, Betta tanks, and specialised systems designed for long-term performance in UK homes.

Are your aquariums suitable for both beginners and experienced fishkeepers?

Yes, our catalogue includes setups ideal for beginners—easy to install and maintain—as well as advanced systems designed for experienced aquarists. Each product page includes detailed specifications to help you choose the right option.

How do I choose the right tank size for my fish?

Larger tanks are generally more stable and easier to maintain. When choosing a tank, consider the adult size of your fish, their swimming behaviour, compatibility, space availability, and access to electricity. When in doubt, choosing a larger tank is usually recommended.

What equipment do I need to set up a new aquarium?

Most aquariums require a tank and stand, a suitable filter, a heater for tropical setups, appropriate lighting, substrate, decor, water conditioner, and a water testing kit. Many aquariums come pre-packaged with the essential components included.

Do you offer finance or payment plans for larger purchases?

Yes, finance options are available through trusted partners such as Novuna, including 0% APR options on eligible orders. Finance availability is shown on applicable product pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will herbivorous fish eat this plant?

No. It is not eaten by herbivorous fish, so it should hold up in tanks that include grazing species.

Can I keep it in a brackish aquarium?

Yes, it tolerates brackish water with low salt concentrations, though no exact salinity figure is given, so start low and monitor the plant.

How tall does it grow?

Its curly leaves typically reach between 40 and 120 cm long.

Does it need strong lighting?

It needs less light than other Crinum species, so it can work without the most intense lighting in the tank.

What do I receive when I order?

One potted Crinum calamistratum plant, ready to plant into substrate.

View full details

This potted Crinum calamistratum suits background planting in freshwater aquariums and in brackish setups with low salt concentrations. It protects your planting scheme because herbivorous fish leave it alone, and it needs less light than other Crinum species, so it works in tanks without strong lighting.

Crinum calamistratum is a bulbous aquarium plant from West Africa. Unlike other Crinum species, it forms smaller bulbs and needs less light to grow well, which helps if your tank doesn't run strong lighting.

Plant it toward the rear of the tank, where its tall, curly leaves have room to develop without crowding shorter plants in front. It also tolerates brackish water with low salt concentrations, so it can work in a brackish setup as well as a standard freshwater one.

The plant resists grazing from herbivorous fish, so it helps protect your layout in community tanks that include grazing species. In the aquarium, plants that are thriving go on to produce a number of small bulbs of their own, giving you material to propagate over time.

You receive one potted Crinum calamistratum plant, ready to transfer into substrate.
