Its full name is Cryptocoryne crispatula var balansae. Unlike Crypt Spiralis, \u003cem\u003eCrypt Balansae\u003c\/em\u003e is a little more sensitive. Like most Crypts, it might melt back in your tank when you first recieve it.(It hasn't melted in my 220 yet but that doesn't mean it can't happen) Make sure you plant your C. Balansae in a good substrate with plenty of nutrients available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has been my experience that \u003cem\u003eCrypt Balansae\u003c\/em\u003e is a heavy root feeder, so make sure you at least have some root tabs. It's ruffled, taller leaves give it a nice contrast in your planted aquarium My buddy Bryan demanded that I start stocking this plant, I told him I would under the condition that he wrote the write up, but I had to get it up here... Here is Bryan's take on it ;)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCryptocoryne balansae\u003c\/strong\u003e is an awesome plant! It can be a center piece plant in a small aquarium or as a filler plant for larger tanks. From beginner to expert, crypt balansae is an outstanding addition to your aquarium. If you are searching for a way to have the look of a ruffle onion but don’t have the room in a small tank, Crypt. Balansae is the way to go. \u003cem\u003eCrypt Balansae’s\u003c\/em\u003e leaves are narrow. In my tank I have never had a leaf wider than ¾ of an inch. The leaves reach up to 8 or 9 inches and have a wrinkled appearance that add awesome contrast to smoother plants in the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a dirted tank the \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eCryptocoryne balansae\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e will take off within a couple months. Generally a slower grower than the more common bronze or green crypts, this plant is worth having in your tank. Whether in gravel, dirted, or just sand, Cryptocoryne balansae will grow. The better the substrate though, the faster the growth. All around this is a killer plant for every level of aquatic enthusiasts. Cryptocoryne balansae in time can spread and produce an amazing mat of dense vegetation. Generally used in the middleground of a tank it adds depth and a splash of something different to every tank. I can't tell you how long this plant will last in stock or even be available for me to get more of..... \u003cstrong\u003eI only have 10 available.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTry \u003ca title=\"A bulletproof and Hardy Cryptocoryne plant\" href=\"https:\/\/dustinsfishtanks.com\/products\/crypt-spiralis\"\u003eCrypt Sprialis\u003c\/a\u003e for another long  and thin leaf crypt!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo Buy our\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em;\" title=\"Our Best Selling Fertilizer!!!\" href=\"https:\/\/dustinsfishtanks.com\/products\/plant-booster-growth-juice-1\"\u003eGrowth Juice\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em;\" title=\"Bring the color out in your plants!\" href=\"https:\/\/dustinsfishtanks.com\/products\/iron\"\u003eIron\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eSupplements for your plants!!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"476\" width=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=476\u0026amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FDustinsfishtanks%2Fvideos%2F424290305887236%2F\u0026amp;show_text=false\u0026amp;width=267\u0026amp;t=0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=476\u0026amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FDustinsfishtanks%2Fvideos%2F909607099603481%2F\u0026amp;show_text=false\u0026amp;width=267\" width=\"267\" height=\"476\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oriental","offers":[{"title":"POTTED","offer_id":44356378034358,"sku":"Crypt Balansae-1","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"BOUND","offer_id":44356378067126,"sku":"Crypt Balansae-2","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1977\/5861\/products\/CryptocoryneBalansae_Crypt_Crypts_AquariumPLant_AquariumPlantsForSale_01.jpg?v=1667416578"},{"product_id":"crypt-wendtii-green","title":"Crypt Wendtii Green (Classic Forground Aquarium Plant) (Bound)","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=476\u0026amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FDustinsfishtanks%2Fvideos%2F1553570404991581%2F\u0026amp;show_text=false\u0026amp;width=267\u0026amp;t=0\" width=\"267\" height=\"476\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE: The photos labeled \"AS OF 7\/31\/25\" is what the plant looks like that you will receive. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrypt Wendtii Green\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cem\u003ecryptocoryne wendtii green\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"\u003ePumped to have another Crypt Species available for you all.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"\u003eThese are some great Crypts and will give you some nice lush color in your planted aquarium.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"\u003eWe keep these crypts in a tank with sand as the substrate, along with our own blend of Aquatic Jungle's secret root fertilizers. \u003cstrong\u003e Crypts\u003c\/strong\u003e love a nutient rich substrate and will thrive in a dirt aquarium.
