try wendtii ... got lots of varieties ... green, brown, green gecko, mi oya, tropica, etc etc
I think I got the bug from AQto do a tank with crypts. Might use a branch with windelov ferns as the background, so what crypts does anyone here can recommend to start with? probably looking at 1 1/2 foot tank low maintenance. Anyone got picture of their crypt tank to show, I need some inspiration

Here's mine with quite a fair bit of crypts.
On left are c.balanase and c.lucens. In the center are a mixture of wendtii 'mi oya', 'tropica' and the normal green/brown ones.
On right is a crypt. sp from china which I've no idea what species.

the lutea are the tall bright green ones[changing from emersed]...
not sure if it's inspiring!

hi what is wendtii? does it have many colors?
hahahhaa no idea at allOriginally Posted by rtcc86
what is echis? Got the full name or a picture? Also is there a basic parameter crypts like? like low ph, temp, etc.
Wendtii refers to Cryptocoryne wendtii. This species has a lot of varities, colour and forms.
Echis refer to the Echindorus plants. Please visit Tropica.dk for more info.
i think echi red rubin looks good at the back....
meanwhile, i'm waiting for some persons echi "ozelot" green to propogate so that i can have one in this scapeless crypto-echi tank
i tried the china crypt and i passed it to ranma.. gave up.. looks like a crypt but doesn't grow as easy as a crypt... drats
