What Kind Of Plant Is This?

lol, I got similar crypts that I originally got as vallisneria nana and I believed it. That central vein should have been a dead giveaway. Took me a while until I figured it out that it was indeed a crypt.

They will grow into a nice thick thicket but it takes a long time.

Looks like Balansae to me. They do grow nice and tall that's for sure. But will take a bit to propagate. Just pulled a few out of one of my tanks.

X2 on the retrospiralis. Looks just like the plants I had last year. Balansae has more of a brownish tinge.

crap! i wanted vallisneria and i got crypts... hope it stays looking like this but only gets taller and spreads more...

If it was warmer I could give you 10+ vallisneria. They grow like a weed but I will warn you once they start running they do not stop.
