    @hviviers75 this is what I have - no clue if this is the plant you are after - if it is I think I spotted some Anubias imports of this, or keep your eyes peeled on the LFS since this is also a locally supplied crypt.

    Actually I am not sure this is a crypt now that I think about it ...

    sorry only have the one at this point ...Propagation is by done by the division of the plant's tuber or by seeds. I have neither that might be worth a harvest just yet.

    dope - I actually found some in my BGB experiment tank ... they are now in the 4ft-clear so if they take I might be able to donate some at some point. BTW these common a chips, typically they are R20 a plant at the LFS
