Dont go nuts just yet over BBA infestation, for it could be battled (which I did evertime and eventually win in just a course of a month or two).
Balansae tends to play dormant for some time when first re-planted. With time left alone and a good substrate it may grow long leaves and fast.
If you are looking for shorter crypt that grow big (40cm), try wendtii. The effect is different from balansae though.
