Brought this but I don't remember the name
The guy at the store said something green( Crypt. .......Green)
Help me out plz

I'm thinking Crypt Parva. I have some in my 90L, though not that big.

It does look like Cryptocyrene parva. The last two syllables of Cryptocyrene--prounounced 'Kaw-reen' can sound like 'green'

You guys are good. There is a reason I use this forum.

Right back at ya.

I'm not really sure
Cuz I asked him if they had C. parva in stock but he said no and told me they had this

 

[MattW]

The only crypts which has that type of leaf structure that I know of are Parva and Lucens. To me, that looks more like Parva + it's also a lot more common than Lucens.

Also in the bunch I got there are plants that are over 6" high
Does C.parva grow that high ?

BTW- Got a hold of the store's number I left a message
We can know for sure when they replies

Parva is mainly used as a foreground plant, so not very tall maybe like 2-3 inches tall. If that bunch all looks the same as the one in the photo, I'm wondering if it isn't a crypt then? A Sword species perhaps.

showing one unplanted would help.

Got the answer we've been waiting for
It's Cryptocoryne spiralis green (at least what they says)
I'll need to wait until those wavey leaves form to be sure though

 

[OMG_FL]

The is the biggest one of the whole bunch
