Hi xema, just started, so do not really have picture yet.

Hi Wilson
Will be growing them emmerse and submerse.

I suppose it´s from wild collecting, so, have you any info about paremeters??... water, growing ground, etc...

PH7.2, Temperature 25C. Not real fast flowing water. But smooth. Sandy substrate. But muddy under the river sand. The river is located inside the jungle where kind of shady. Sorry. No photo of that river to share.

Beside that, found a river in Selangor (Malaysia) area where growing with C.affinis as well. PH and water temperature is almost the same like above. But the water current is very strong. Barely able to stand or walk well on the river. The affinis explored under direct sun light. Green and narrow leaf. I will take the picture of the affinis and share with you guys tomorrow.
