Can someone please ID this for me.

On a side note, once ID has taken place I will put a thread in the for sale section andbe selling them on,If anyone is interested please let me know.

Cryptocoryne sp. Maybe someone can further clarify?

Thats a start, thanks.

Yeah, crypts of some sort. They're growing better than mine are at the moment.

I knew the crypt part, I just dont know what type.

These ones are on a very intense growing schedual..... 7 hours of light a day that is all

Cryptocoryne wendtii, mine grow like that in a tank with 15w of lighting and no ferts.

Chur brother!

I have a bunch of that too, very undemanding.

Yeh they are great. I have one in my tang tank, I am going to put some more in there soon as well

Not sure why, but they're about the only plant you can't buy on TM.

Could be a semi profitable little sideline. Chop off all the leaves and trim the roots so they don't melt on arrival?

Sweet, well I will have a heap for sale in about a week

I have some of these and they are the hardiest & best crypts I've ever had.

I don't think they are wendtii though, I think they had more pointy ended leaves and brownish veins. These are a little more rounded at the end and a deep green.

Mine all started like that Sophia then they melted and grew back like this? Not sure why?

I havnt noticed any melting with these, even after planting them

IMO the crypts on the pictures look like a cross between cryptocoryne wendtii and affinis

So are we thinking Wendtii and affinis?

So are we thinking Wendtii and affinis?

No

It is plain old C. affinis

Once it starts to grow it will spread via runners easily. It is slow but reasonable hardy( Crypt standards)

Remember no crypts like sudden changes in environment Temp fluctuations, chemistry , lighting etc will cause crypts to melt.

HTH

I will lock that in then.

Interestingly enough the whole "crypt melt" thing I havnt noticed ever any of these melting, including uping the temp, lowering as well as when I rehomed them and have taken them out and put them in new tanks
