crypt. parva

[Totenkampf]

PARva? its flat. and its prolly in someone elses tank by now lol

[eklikewhoa]

It's still in my tank for now, think ssrprelude will take it and Im gonna switch to something that actually spreads.

i am going to use it like others use a. barteri 'nana petite' around and in between rocks (baoster hooked me up as you suggested). i am disappointed its not a low light carpet option but its something new. what are your going to try instead? the HM you were posting for yesterday?

[eklikewhoa]

Yeah I love HM, depending on how you trim, it can be used as fore or mid ground.

The parva I'm afraid will do nothing for any particular unless you buy like 100pots at a time.

I have crypt parva in my 5g planted tank, and it's spreading nicely, albeit rather slowly. It definitely prefers low light. Mine is not flattened out at all because the lighting is so low.

Good move on trading it out for something else. It won't ever do what you want with the bright lighting you have on the tank.

C. parva is also highly prone to BBA, but it responds very well to the standard excel overdose treatment to clear it out.
