How does one plant have the ability to attract algae more than another? Either you have have algae or you don't. The type of plant has nothing to do with it.
Cryptocoryne beckettii?

Not quite true. There are significant differences in the leaf surface which makes the plant more or less hospitable to algae anchorage.

Ya exactly. Plus, plants that suck in nutrients more quickly are sometimes less suseptible to algae from my experience......
my exp with crypts is that they will take anywhere from 2 weeks to a month to settle in befor they start growing. it also depends on how they were grown befor you get them, if they were grown emersed then it takes a little longer to adjust.
if you are getting plants to outcompete algae crypts arn't what you should start out with even if the goal of the tank is to end up with just crypts.
