About the same over here too. It's like $20 - $25 depending if the LFS has a good day or not. God I hate to love them.

Ooops, must be confusing C. W. brown with some other species, I'm no crypt expert. It looks REALLY good, the tank looks so much bigger than what it really is!

Hey Ernie I took these pics some minutes ago, just to see the difference between my 2 Crypto WB, they look very different.

This is the one in my Nano :



This is in my 82 gal.



I've noticed the new one has thicker and wider leaves and its darker than the old one (it has about 18 months in my 82)

Could it be the different temp and substrate between the tanks ?

Could it be the old one need some root tabs ?

Cheers

Yep, the price is the reason I'm still thinking if I should re-scape my low tech 82 gal. and replace the gravel with a 50/50 Fluorite/Onyx mix

Is this tank still running? If so, how bout an update?

[Guillermo]

Hi NEN, this tank is very different know, I put the W.B. Crypt in my 82, it was too big. Now it has been redone and only has java moss and anubias (Calladifolia, Congensis, Barteri y Nana, I'm waiting to find a Coffefolia too).I've changed the tank too, the new one has finer silicone.

I will post some pics as soon as time allows me to do so.

Thanks for asking.

VERY nice!!!

Hi guys, thanks for your interest. I have not had time to post an update, in fact I will have to do it before I turn down this tank. I want to setup a 18-20 gal tank, but I need to turn down my 2 nanos.

Keep you posted.
