    On the weekend I purchased a plant that looks very much like cryptocoryne balansai but in the shop it was called "Queensland lace plant". Is there a lace fern of some description that looks like the crypt balansai??? It's not the healthy-est plant at the moment because I don't know what conditions it likes (bright/shade etc). Please help!

    Why don't you use the aquatic plants database in Dennerle or Tropica website to help you identify your plant.
