Hey, I have the same crypt. I bought mine from bangkok. It came with much wider and shorter leaves....but grew out just like yours. I'm guessing its a crispatula group too.

updated :
after +-6 months, the plant looks like this.
underwater inflorescence
It's very different from my balansae which can grow more than 100cm long. This plant is only about 20 - 30 cm.

Whoa... I'm quite envious of whatever supply you can get from Bandung... and most can survive inside your "magical pond and its waste ground"
Lovely plant. Is it indigenious to Indonesia or Thailand?

Interesting. This species seems to have a slighly broader leave structure than the usual Cryptocoryne crispatula.
Thanks for sharing the picture of the inflorescence. Not something we get to see all the time.
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
Someone from APC told me that this plant is C. balanciaga, a hybrid form of balansae that might being cultivated at Oriental Aquarium.
it doesn't grow like original balansae, here's the pic of original balansae (120cm)Originally Posted by HeyPK
I bought one of this plant form LFS in Bandung (Laksana Aquarium Karapitan) Indonesia. They only had 2 of this plant at that time and sold out after I post the picture in local aquascape forum. Has anyone seen this plant in Singapore?

Hmmm, a nice hybrid if that's the case. Especially if you like balansae but did not have tall tank.
