Crypt and Val

[Kaden Doke]

Ive heard story’s how certain crypts and Val can’t grow in the same tank. I have just some plain Jane valiseria and I’m wanting to put crypt spiralis. Have any of you guys experienced problems with growing crypt and Val in the same tank?

You can grow any plants together as long as they get sufficient light and nutrients they all do fine.

Crypts can suffer from rotting if their rhizome is damaged during moving or replanting so check them before planting in the tank. Then need to had a hard firm rhizome with no soft squishy bits on them. The soft squishy bits will rot and kill the plant over time.
