Crypt ID

Post by Linus_Cello »

As I mentioned in my thread introducing myself, this crypt is in the 75 g, and it seems to be doing well post-move. I just don't know what kind of crypt it is. The leaves are rounder than usual. There's an HY57 tetra in it for scale.

Looks like either Cryptocoryne moehlmannii or Cryptocoryne pontederiifolia. Does it have pink/purple undersides?

For new leaves, the underside is pink/purple/violet (uniform). For old leaves, the underside is pinkish green.
