I've had some success with it, but I gotta warn you, if it's emersed when you buy it, be prepared for some die-off when you submerge it.

I've had some good luck with BucePlant, they're actually an Aquarium Plants Factory, so you can get some pretty unique stuff from them.

Try giving the male frozen or live foods, see if that encourages him to build a bubble nest.

Re: Growing tissue culture plants for aquariums and terrariums

TC plants are basically plants grown in a super clean environment, so you don't gotta worry about any pests, algae, or diseases. They're usually in a cup, and you get a decent amount of plant.

Your tank looks stunning, love the open top design and the exposed wood is a nice touch.

Re: discovering cryptocoryne: care and cultivation

It's normal for Crypts to melt in a new setup, they'll send out new growth over time though.
