WTB Crypts species..... - APE - Aquatic Plant Enthusiasts

AquaZilla · 10-30-2010, 06:28 PM

How do folks! Im looking for small lower growing crypts. I can get pictures of what Im looking for as soon as I get my dinner and cold beverages taken care of.

In the interim, you crypt nuts may know what Im looking for (Uka, Chuukus) so lets see 'em!

I don't have anything on me right now, but I can suggest C. pygmaea, parva, noritoi and willisii that come to mind as far as what to look or trade for. I'm sure there are others. I'll bet chuukus will chime in here any second...

Do you know where a good source for photos for pygmae?

ukamikazu · 10-30-2010, 07:33 PM

Actually, I do.

Cryptocoryne pygmaea

This entire site is a good photographic reference for Crypts. and Lagenandras in general. I will tell you this, pygmaea was thought to be the smallest Crypt but it was beat out recently by parva which is very easy to get a hold of and in large quantities.

Thats what Im looking for. Its likely I will never find it though....

ukamikazu · 10-30-2010, 07:45 PM

Sure you will, you just have to know where to look...

AquaZilla · 10-30-2010, 07:51 PM

I see Parva! The other is the hard to find rarity. I will pay top $$ for the real deal!

I'll send some C. parva your way if you want it. I have two little pots going but don't seem to have any use for it.

AquaZilla · 10-30-2010, 09:15 PM

I will give it a go D! By the way, shoot me a PM!
