@zaracki92 I think the crpyt you're thinking of is a crinkly leaved one, the plant in here that has the ruffled edges is an almighty crinum natans. Currently it's leaves are about 7 ft long....
@silverpaul yea thats the one. If It is a crinum then that is BADASS! how long did it take for the plant to grow that big? I heard they are slow growers. I have a crinum calamistratum and its taking it a long time to grow. What substrate are you using?
@zaracki92 it's 3 or 4 years old now and has flowered a couple of times. It's not that quick a grower.
I had calamistratums, they were quicker, they budded and i ended up with about 6, but it was too messy with them in there too. The substrate is a homebrew of soil, vermiculite and sand laid under a bed of black sand.
I feed the plants daily as well as the fish, and change the water weekly. The weekly water change seems to be the biggest key in getting decent growth.
@silverpaul sweet, I got mine more than a month ago from my friend. Its super small and has only grown one leaf since I got it. His tank is co2 injected so I guess it didn't like the move.
Wow beautiful!!! Im just starting out. Would like my plants to fill out like yours. What kind of lighting do you use? check out my 60 gal under my planted aquarium.
is that cryptocoryne crispatula to the right?

@zaracki92 If i leave a water change more than a week, plant growth slows a few days after the change was due.
