Wow.. Henry.. for a 2 month old tank..this is pretty awesome..
What is that big huge crypt on the right side?

[blackhen]

Bro, honestly I am still searching for the name. Was given to me by a friend.

haha...thats pretty funny... still the growth of your plants look pretty good.. i miss my old 3ft...perhaps the new 2.5ft tank i'll be getting can replace it..
Remember to take pics as the tank matures..

I think that is not a crypt, but a java fern.

Hi, I think it maybe Cryptocoryne Pontederiifolia as shown in this website

http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/my...eriifolia.html

This plant grows quite tall, from the picture, the mature leaves reaches about 15 to 16 inches, near the tank surface and on average, 1 new leave grows out every 2-3 weeks.

If any bro can advise on the actual name of this plant, please help. I am a small greenhorn with regards to plant id and name.

Thanks bro, also thanks to your Wonder-Gro stuff, especially the root tablets.
