Any suggestions for a short crypt that could be used in the foreground? Anybody ever tried cryptocoryne parva?

Thanks

I have C. parva in my 55 and it stays compact with slow but steady growth.

I had parva as a foreground in a 29gal. It grows slowly, you have to be aware of that. It's not a fast foreground plant, but it stays low, compact and with enough time gets rather dense.

This crypt grew leaves right along the substrate for me. http://www.tropica.com/plants/plantdescription.aspx?pid=109E

I LOVE parva. it does take a very long time to spread, and grow.

It's not really a foreground plant ...but I have a wendtii (brown, I think) in each foreground corner. I like they way they frame the front side of the tank.

I have grown crypts as well. They grew huge in my tank.

Brown, green and Tropica. lot's of Co2 makes the leaves stand up and reach for the surface.
