    i see... would this have any ill effects on the overall plant health? Just curious

    also, what size should a rhizome be before we can divide it into several smaller plants without risking damage to the parent plant?

    (sorry XnSdVd for hijacking your thread, but i guess you should be interested in the above as well right? )

    Actually I just planted griftti(sp?) evenly all over the tank. Eventually as the leaves grew broader and longer they covered most of the substrate. So you have a layer of leaves completely covering the substrate and about a 4cm "layer" of crypt stalks under the leaves where my harlequins laid their eggs. Cept my stupid cat fell in the tank and somehow killed all the plants

    According the BFG she got so scared she probably pissed and the chemical change brought about the tankwide melt.

    The reason why I'm asking is because I've only got 4 surviving plants. So will they grow back if I wait? or do i need to buy more plants to re-carpet? Cos if I'm not wrong kuching took shots of a crypt bullosa carpet. In some river being destroyed by pollution.

    Gee, maybe Lorba can help for Bossteck's and XnSdVd's questions... But in my opinion, there is no standard time for crypts to recover from a melt. But they will.
    Read me! :bigsmile: http://justikanz.blogspot.com/

    I'm crypt collecting... Starting cheap, now have Cryptocoryne beckettii, C.beckettii var petchii, C.crispatula var.balansae, C.griffithii(Melted! ), C.nurii, C.parva, C.pygmaea(Melted! ), C.tonkinensis(Melted! ), C.walkeri, C.wendtii 'Brown', C.wendtii 'Green', C.wendtii 'Green Gecko', C.wendtii 'Tropica' and Cryptocoryne x willisii

    Oh, juggling is hard work, man!...
