Frankly either C. wendtii or C. walkeri would do. C. walkeri will be a little shorter though.
Hi,
I have a 1.5 footer tank with a height of 26cm. I currently have HM, Taiwan moss and Japanese hairgrass in the tank and I intend to introduce a crypt to be between the moss (on small rocks) and the HM (background) but I am not too sure which one to use.
C. parva is out as it takes too long and I am considering between C. wendtii "green" and C. walkeri. Will they be suitable? In their proprosed position, they will not be shaded much.
Any help will be good. Thanks.

Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:A woman, without her man, is nothing.

C. pygmaea would work as well..
What about C becketti?

C. becketti's height is about the same as C. wendtii, but it'll be a dull bronze/reddish/brownish in colour, so you have to consider if that is the effect you want.

Can consider C. nevillii and C.pygmaea.
Thanks for the recommendation guys.
Think I will go for C. becketti to break the "mono-green" of my tank. If I can't find it readily, then I think I'll get C. walkeri.

With the tank height of 26cm, the C. wendtii "green" will almost reach that height if grown well... not so suitable as a mid-ground plant. Try C. wendtii "tropica".

Thanks for the heads up.
I was thinking of using E. tennullus but was worried it will be too boring. I will try with C. walkeri first and if the height is bad then I'll switch back to E. tennullus.
