Cryptocoryne Tropica

Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Tropica' is a compact, hardy crypt with textured, hammered leaves in bronze-green tones tinged reddish underneath. It stays small enough for the midground and asks for very little — low light and no CO2 suit it fine. Expect some initial melt after planting; it bounces back and spreads by runners once its roots take hold.
