| This morning I found some crypts in my 50 gallon. I had no idea they were there, and there were 4 of them, two huge ones and two small ones. The two big ones were in my swordplants, and I just thought they were dead leaves. I replanted 3 of them, and one big one is still inside a Sword. Anyone had any experience with these? Anyone know their care?

| Are you saying cryotocoryne plants here?
Axlerod and Schutz shows six sp. from Malaya, with some mottled and some green leaves on same plant, that will grow in low overhead light, likes slightly acid water, and propogate by runners. |
