I have this in my Evo 13.5 gallon. It hasn’t been there long yet but 🤞🏼that it does well because my kuhli loaches love to poke around in it! Thank you- I really like your videos!
This sweet little plant is what I picked to carpet a cylinder tank. I'm keeping the scape real simple, a clump of baby tears in the middle, the crypt on the bottom, and some salvini floating cover, a rock pile around the baby tears for a shrimp nursery. I've been planning this one out for a long time. Hope it comes out as well in reality as I see it in my head. 👍❤👍
If you were a sales person, that would be a soft sell and I'd purchase some. Great video of knowledge, I've heard of it, but don't have any and I'll keep it in mind. Thanks
Adding it to my list because you said it won’t get big and it won’t melt. I’m holding you to that promise 😂. BTW went to my local Petco today and their plant selection was very, very sad. Opposite of Petsmart which has a nice selection. Weird. Also received my first plant order from Flip Aquatics last week - A+ - will order from them again.
Informative video! I have Lutea and one other unknown variety both doing well. I will have to try Parva next! Video idea: what to do when you throw your back out and you need to do tank maintenance. 🤦🏻♀️ Ugh. That’s me since Thursday. All I can think of is sweet talk someone else to do it. The garden too. Enjoy your weekend Joanna! 🐠 🌱 🌸
Oh no? You threw your back out? Oh I’m so sorry, we are a family with back issues. I sure hope it feels better soon and you were able to sweet talk for help 😌
@@thesmallscape Thanks for the well wishes. Thankfully I’m seeing improvement on day 4. ...So this is one thing I wish we both didn’t have in common, because are a family with back issues too.
Sounds like a great little plant. I’m looking at a tank now that could use some sprucing up. Just might be on my next order list. Great video! Thanks for sharing
Good morning Joanna! I have two crypt parva and neither have grown much at all in the past 1.5 years or so. They're less than an inch tall. But very cute, and I haven't had an issue with them other than little to no growth.
Just chop off all the leaves from the get-go to prevent crypt melt. They grow back way faster! Thanks for the video as usual Joanna, I loved how you included their natural habitat as well :)
Another great informative video Joanna. Thanks. Crypt. Parva is one of my favorite plants too for all the same reasons that you listed. One thing I would like to see is for you to continue the series on fighting green hair algae. What do you think of the idea of next time doing a 50% to 75% water change (enough to bring the water level down low enough so that the plants are somewhat exposed) and then using either an eye dropper pippete or small medicine syringe, squirting 3% hydrogen peroxide solution on the algae infected area of the plants, giving it a couple of minutes and then refilling the tank? Of course you would have to observe the maximum amount allowable per gallon rule ( I forget what it is off the top of my head; have to Google it)
Thank you for posting. Need something to take my mind off what’s in going on. The Airline that is SUPPOSED to be flying my niece back from Grenada delayed her in Grenada for twenty four hours. Then when they got her to Miami they bumped her from one flight until late last night and canceled it. She asked if they could get her on a flight to Boston Mass. would I drive three plus hours to pick her up,I said yes and started out. The airline canceled that flight. While that was going on her mother my sister was on hold until two o’clock this morning trying to track down luggage. I am now sitting at Albany NY airport waiting to see if they can get her here.
Have this in 2 of my betta tanks. Tried it in my 55g but corys and the plecos kept uprooting it. Lovely small lush looking little plant. I love it, will definitely be buying more. Great video Joanna. Thank you 😊
I bought 2 portions and cant get it to stay in my aquasoil. The ones i were shipped barely have roots. They kept getting uprooted so i got frustrated and threw them out
I’m so sorry! Planting in aqua soil is such a stinker!! Next time you can try placing pebbles or rocks around the new plants to keep them down while they root in. Also - I have a video- micro sword planting hack - I think it’s called where I cut off pieces of a comb and use to stake down plants. 😊
Crypt and Annubia - can't go wrong!
Crypt Parva grows well in my acidic, low pH / high GH water in Florida.
Good to know. You just described my water.
Awesome video Joanna!!! You are the Best RUclips aquarist...you and Cory from Aquarium Co-Op are the best !!!!!

👍❤👍
I never had good luck with this one, always had good luck with other crypts too
Nice! I just got one of these like a week ago. I did lose one leaf to melting but it's already grown a replacement. Beautiful little plant
Wow no melting, sounds like the perfect crypt 🤗
And tiny! ☺️
Perfect timing! I needed a tiny hardy plant for my 3 gallon nano cube!
Wonderful presentation
Great information. I have been wanting to rescape my 10 gallon. You have inspired me. This plant will be perfect, thanks for sharing.
Have fun scapin away! ☺️

I haven't tried it yet. I'm always looking for new fun plants! 💚💚
What a lovely, versatile little plant! Definitely going to remember this next time I get the rescape bug! Thanks!!
It sounds like a great plant. I need to try it. 🙂
Just picked some up today
Woohoo!!!

Hi Carolynn! Wow - that IS little to no growth! Tiny is right. ☺️
@@thesmallscape heehee.... at least they are still green. I use root tabs but that hasn't done anything either. :)
I used it to carpet one of my 20 gallon longs. It took about 3 years to grow in completely. But I like it.
3 years - worth the wait I hope. ☺️
@@thesmallscape It does look good. I just added more root tabs to the old substrate to give the plants a boost.
Thank you 😊 💓
Nice looks good
I've been on the fence about whether or not to get some crypt parva for my new 10 gallon, and you just convinced me 😁
Also the tank that you showed in the video is gorgeous!
Thank you! ☺️
Oh great, I hope you enjoy it! 🌿😃🌿
@@thesmallscape Thanks!! 😊
Nice video
I still haven't tried any of the crypts in my tanks. I think it's time to get some of the Parvati and see how it goes.
Just chop off all the leaves from the get-go to prevent crypt melt. They grow back way faster! Thanks for the video as usual Joanna, I loved how you included their natural habitat as well :)
Good afternoon, Joanna. Thank you for the information on this little plant. Will this be good for nano shrimp?
Hi! Oh yes I like it in my yellow shrimp tank. Good scale for them too. ☺️
Can't wait to try it, my Dwarf grass has pretty much melted away :(
I got some dwarf grass a few weeks ago. It all melted away, but has started looking good in the last few days, hopefully yours will too.

It is not really shrimp safe
May I know what the substrate you are using? Is that black sand?
I've ordered parva two times and each time it comes as wendti. Maybe one day.
Really?! Oh no!

😵😕☹️😯
Oh John I’m so sorry. I hope it’s ironed itself out by now. Ugh.
that was first crypt that didnt get sick, lose any leave or melt and grows like crazy in my tanks
Don’t you just love it! ☺️🌿
It seems to grow without CO2 and without super strong light, any idea why Tropica marked it as a advanced plant?
would c. parva work in a blackwater tank with floating plants?
Good Morning.

💚💚💙💙
Does anyone know if Crypt Parva grows easily emersed?
I can’t get mine to grow
I never had luck in my tanks for some reason.
Oh no, bummer. 🙁
Love this plant but didn’t know about it that much- thanks !
Yooo
