Hi,

i would want to identify these plants:
(before you click, they are about 300 kb's big but i've
supplied resized versions too (40 kb each)

1) (300kb) http://www.benedictverheyen.be/aquarium/DSCF0015.JPG
(40kb)http://www.benedictverheyen.be/aquarium/small_DSCF0015.JPG

2) (300kb) http://www.benedictverheyen.be/aquarium/DSCF0021.JPG
(40kb) http://www.benedictverheyen.be/aquarium/small_DSCF0021.JPG

In the first picture, the 2 front plants seem like
Cryptocoryne Wendtii and then in picture 2, the utmost right
one seems like a Cryptocoryne Willisi.
The reason why i'm asking is that i'm planning a new aquarium
and these 2 plants seem to do very well in my current small
aquarium.

Thanks.
Benedict

Quite probably -looks close enough & the only way to be sure with crypts is
checking their flowers.

Thats an Amazon sword!

I haven't seen any flowers yet on the Wendtii so i can't tell yet.
As for the Amazon Sword, I looked at several pics on the net
and i think you're right, it does look like an Amazon Sword.

Thanks,
Benedict

Could also be Cryptocoryne Undulata, I think.

Cheers,

Michi.
