    tired of staring at BBA, I decided to plant fast growers.. showing sign of improvement, but now.. my 4ft looks weird..[], left side stemmed plants and on the right r slow growers.. all the cryptos.. will be replacing all the slow growers as time goes by.. me open to comment



    can someone ID for me this plant?


    Rotala macrandra 'green' form, given by Amoae.. thanks charles.. even with 4x36w for my 4ft.. these buggers still grow so fast.. those few u gave to me has multiple to this much...

    When crypts melts, dun throw away. if the condition is right, they will grow back... Crypts wil mlt if condition of tank change suddenly, like changing lights, fertilizer dosage etc.

    Crypt grows rather slowly compared to other plants like Echinodorus. It also depends on which Crypt you are talking about. C. wendtii grows pretty alright with CO2 and so is C. balansae. Others like C. x willisi only takes off after it reaches a critical size... YMMV.
