lol I am glad someone can remember all those scientific names for plants, I do good to remember what they are just called much less the true name for them.
 
Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you feel about common names), most Cryptocoryne really don't have common names, unless you want to call them 'Water Trumpets'. Same goes for most Aponogeton species, except for the Madagascar Lace Plant, Aponogeton madagascarensis.
 
I never liked crypts, they just messed up the look of the tank, their leaves are lke long and they just look messy. I don't know, that's just me.
 
You're a very silly person, Raimeiken!! :lol: (just kidding). Cryptocoryne are my all-time favorite aquarium plants!!
 
Well I would run down the list of full beutiful plants that are in my 55gal but my little girl(4) wanted a crayfish so daddy bought it for her and we put in in the tank and he acted like a darn lawn mower :twisted: :twisted:
So now I have a 55 full of stubs!! :evil: :evil:
