Cryptocoryne Willisii

Cryptocoryne Willisii is another member of the crypt family and is very tolerant of water conditions and grows quickly to form and impressive group of broad leaved stems.  It is very hardy and transplants easily to a new tank.  It propagates through runners and can be easily divided to provide new groups for the same or other aquariums.  Fine gravel is recommended as a substrate for this.  It prefers medium light but I have found that it can also do reasonably well in poor lighting so don't be afraid to experiment.
