Is this crypt parva?


Recommended Posts

Is this a crypt parva?  It was sold as cryptocoryne sp.  but looked like parva so I picked it up as an impulse buy.  Looking at other photos of parva I've noticed they're usually sold green not striped in the middle like this.  Is this a different variety?  maybe nutrient deficiency (I have them a root tab and they get easy green 2x/week)?  I've had this for about 2 weeks and have had 0 melt and its looked exactly the same since I got it.

These crypts were sold to me as parva, and they have fairly similar coloration, though I'm starting to get some bronze coloration since upping ferts and getting CO2 back online. Sorry for the less than stellar pics... bowfronts can be really hard to get macro shots. Also, the tank is super messy and stuffed to the gills with plants waiting for the rest of my 55gal equipment so I can upgrade.
