Another amazing crypt
My standard online plant seller was out of crypts when I found Your Fish Stuff, who had a ton of crypts, so I ordered a few of several types -- they all arrived in great shape. Packing was top-notch and I love that everything was labeled, which is fantastically helpful for these new species I haven't kept before. Thanks again!!!

BROWN ROOTS
Along with 1 of the Anubias, the parva had brown roots. The pants eventually turned yellow and did not even have a chance to settle in the tank. I am very disappointed.

Cryptocoryne parva
The plant arrived promptly and is growing fine.

Super Healthy
Super healthy and no melted leaves at all.
