Thanks! I love that crypt, it is by far my favorite plant ever! I have had it for 1.5 yrs in that exact spot, I put in root tabs very rarely maybe 4 times but only 1/2 a tab each time. I do not & have not (for the most part) fertilized or added carbon of any kind. I didn't get my first plantlet until this past month and then 4 more popped up all the sudden. In short, I really don't know how I got them. Best I can figure is don't move it for 1.4 yrs!
I just made a mod to my light. I think the water spots on the glass lid may have been affecting the light output so I put two little strips of plexi-glass along the side edges on the tank/rim and rested the light right on those. I say this because my Rotala sp. is no longer pink at the top & plant growth and algae have been a little abnormal. We will see what happens!
EDIT - I forget to mention that my floating (in the first picture on pg 10) freebie plant that came with my free RCS is most likely Crypt Parva, Yay! Now in 3 yrs it may be a noticeable addition to this tank.
