Hi guys,
this is Heiko Bleher and I wanted to let you all know, that I was recently in a beautiful small creek, almost untouched, in peninsula Malaysia and saw plenty of Cryptocoryne cf, affinis, growing by the thousands in that creek.
As some of you may not know, but besides my fish-collecting all my life, I am born into the pioneer family of aquarium-plants. My grendfather, Adoilf Kiel, started 1887 when he saw that no one uses aquatic vegetation for their gold-fish-bowl or those first glas-aquariums built... by 1900 he had the largest aquarium plants nursery in the world with 32 green houses in Frankfurt germany and exported all over the world...
Have alook at my website and also the new book of my mother,
Iténez - River of Hope,
which is the aquarium-plant richest river in the world (positively) and my mother discovered it and collected 60 plus of the most well known aquarium plants today in the hobby there (and I was a kid than helping... collecting fishes and plants...).
