huh, I have that exact crypt that is low and long, the one that you don't know the species or mix, I can't for the life of me, find out what it is

How long do they take to get started i know you said they take a little while just curious how long?

Does dustin dose excel?

I laughed when you said java ferns will outrun them. For some reason I have never been able to grow java ferns at all. I've attached them to driftwood, rocks, and clay pots, had them under high light and low light, with and without ferts, high water circulation, low circulation, etc. and they just never do shit. The leaves whither away over the course of a month or so, and then I'm just left with roots and a rhizome that never do anything. The only way I have gotten them to grow is just by throwing them into one of my tanks without attaching them to anything at all. Just letting them get blown around the tank, and they eventually get some new growth, albeit very small, pathetic growth. The only plants I've had that have truly thrived are Rotala rotundifolia, Aponogeton sp. (from bulbs bought at Walmart), and java moss. I also have an Anubias nana that looks great (large leaves, good color), but it only has about a dozen leaves and only shoots up a new one maybe once every 3 months, at best, and I have an amazon sword that finally looks like it is hanging in there (I've had bad luck with swords, as well). I recently ordered one of the Fluval CO2 systems with the disposable canisters, which I'm hoping might fix some of my issues (I've never run CO2 before; only used liquid carbon).

Hey I like to get started on my tank what's the plant that's great to start with and everything I will need to do so

Hmm do these get along with babytears?

Before I was in planted tanks this was my first plant

My Crypts never had a problem being put into a new tank. I bought them a few days ago and they're taking off. My Jungle Vals on the other hand have completely melted. One plant already disintegrated. The other two are showing signs of growth so hopefully they'll adapt.

I just purchased a new crypt! Thanks so much for your lesson! greetings from Singapore! :D

love me some jungle val

Good info, My Crypts seem to do great, then go kinda south, never die, but just change from an amazing green, to a bright yellow.. SUBBED, Check out my videos guys, just trying to add some new fish/shrimps friends to my subs. Thanks guys..Also, Dustin, If you look ay my rescape 40 gallon video, you can see at the bottom left corner what the crypts are that keep changing color and maybe gimme some ideas

Crypt are badass and some of the only plants my goldfish won't munch

dont know what ur talking about , mine are so damn hardy and grow fricken fast in my tank and all i do is use co2 , 2 watts per gallon on lighting and liquid ferts that i inject into the substrate which is just sand .
