    You can have a look at Bioplast's tank at Boon Keng. I just saw Tonkinensis in one of their tank.

    C Tokinsesis is not difficult to grow. Just make sure it's in matured tank water and you will have no problem. Perhaps for a start, u may wish to plant it in open space with good and CONSTANT lighting and conditions. Key thing is to let it acclimatize to its surroundings, as with all crypts. Once that is achieved, u can leave/ignore it and it still grow shoots, except the leaves are not as brownish.

    If you have crypts(like C Wendii) in your tank, use them as barometer for your tank conditions. If they dun melt, then u know your water is ok.

    Cheers!
