Hi all 🙂
In my tank pictured below there is a gap at the back, The main plant in this tank at the moment is cryptocoryne willisii, and it grows quite compact at a height of 10-15cm with the former being the majority, Is there any other crypt that remains will grow to about 20cm? I know willisii is supposed to but in this case it hasn't 🙄
Does anyone know if the amount of light over a tank may affect how tall they grow? as they do seem to be quite low and compacted towards the substrate, my tank gets quite a lot of light (56 watts of T5 for 4 hours a day over 1 125 litre rio 125)
Growth is quite fast, but i feel as though the back needs something, I may add a redder crypt such as wenditii tropica to the right of the vallis in a group to provide a focal point, but the remainder will be green, As you have probably gathered im a big fan of crypts!
I'm going to add some microsorum pteropus between the vallis and the crypts, but i just want to know whether there is a species of crypt which will get to about 20cm?
Sorry for the long winded post 😳
Cheers, Jack
