    I saw it at the crypt tank (front bottom display tank) at Colourful last week. He had like a few pots if you are refering to the plant in the picture.

    I find that the C.parva can look similar to C.willisi... And they say that the parva not easy to find... Could Colourful's be the willisi, instead? It would be great if his is the parva... I would like to get my hands on them too..
    Read me! :bigsmile: http://justikanz.blogspot.com/

    I am not sure if it is the one you're looking for... it looked like the one in the picture. The leaves were pointing downwards instead of upwards like the other crypts when I saw them in their little baskets. I did ask the uncle if its C.parva but he said he didn't know what it was.

    Do you have a big and clear picture of the C.parva?

    Cryptocoryne parva is very short compared to the other crypts. Only about 5 cm. The others are significantly taller.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    Cheers,
    The one I saw was short and had its leaves pointing downwards, looked like a good groundcover. Is that one way to identify the C.parva?

    Have you got a clear picture of the plant?

    This one big enough?



    The one at colourful looks to be the correct parva? Not sure since I've not seen willisi yet.

    I think I still have a few stands in my 5 ft tank. They are horribly slow growing and attracts algae easily. This plants seems to do well in high light and need good water circulation.
