Hello! A few days ago, I bought this small potted plant from the local Petco. I'm sure it's a Cryptocoryne, but which one? Is there a way to tell from these two photos?
I bought two pots and each one separated into about 8 plantlets. The plants are very short so I was wondering if this could possibly be C. parva?
Thanks! I had meant for my first post to be in Introductions, and will do that soon.
Please ID this Cryptocoryne.

Re: Please ID this Cryptocoryne.
Some of the leaves seem too wide for C. parva. Do you have a coin to show relative size?

Probably wendtii, green?
Re: Please ID this Cryptocoryne.
Thanks to both for your help so far. The plantlets are all planted in the tank now.
This is a good idea. It's overcast here atm but as soon as I get some light I will take the photo and post it.
