Is this normal?

[Derek Tweedie]

Hey guys just noticed this on my Crypt and just wondering if this is normal?

The crypt species is Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Tropica’. Any help would be great.

Sorry I may have been a bit vague with this. In the picture above the crypt has a flower on it. I am just wondering if I should keep it or cut it off.

That really doesn't look like a crypt spathe to me!

Must be a fruit? Never seen one before, very cool.

Hi all,

Must be a fruit?

I agree with Derek, it definitely isn't a flower, they look like a miniature Arum lily (bit like an Anubias flower).
Never seen a fruit, but <http://www.gwapa.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4126> looks promising.

cheers Darrel

Just a quick update guys. I showed the pic at my lfs and they were very helpful and it is indeed a flower/fruit. I have observed over the past few days and it seems that it has released 6 or so tiny plants into the water. Since then it has withered and I have removed it from the tank.
