Default Crypt ID

I have two crypt that have recently acquired 1 from Tom messenger aka messy_da_legend and 1 from a local pet shop.

Crypt 1 – from Tom he believes it to be bekettii




Crypt 2 – from the pets shop I ask what type of crypt it was but they didn’t have a clue. I don’t think they knew what a Cryptocoryne was. (sorry for the poor pics)

Several of the leaves from "Crypt 2" remind me of my Petstore(click here) crypt that was identified as an undulata. Keep a lookout for the red striations, like in my picture.
I'm sure someone will come along with a more professional ID for both crypts sooner or later.

I can make a positive ID on one thing though:
You're dangerously close to developing the crypt bug.

I also think it's probably C. undulata.

In the last picture I am seeing few stalks of C. spiralis (one of my favourites submerged)
