Characteristic of Cryptocoryne parva??

I was told that Crypt Parva does not do well in high-light.

But another thread in AQ, post from PlantBrain shows that Crypt Parva does best with high-light.

Any advice?

It does well in both lighting.. just that in high lighting, it does not grow as tall because it does not need to. Nutrition wise, that has to fit your lighting.

Hmm... what does "does not do well" mean? Growing poorly? I have seen healthy C. parva in high lighting tanks, so I doubt it is just down to the lights.

I think parva can tolerate high sunlight as all my other crypts will melt in my evening sun balcony, and only my parva can survice and still growing good.
