If you get time I would appreciate seeing a detailed description of your potting mixes as compared to what the plants come out of in the wild. I've been growing all of mine in a 50/50 sand and peat mix. Some do great while others just do ok.

I select each soil for each specie depend on wild environment.
Yesterday, I made following page describe my setting only for Peat Swamper Crypts.
I put English explanation in each picture.

I was in Tokyo back in September for the ADA Nature Aquarium Party. I had a great time. Saw Kyoto, Tokyo, and the ADA Gallery in Niigata. Probably will be some time before I go back.

Aqua Forest had some great aquascapes. I have never seen emersed Crypts for sale. I will have to get a list of aquariums shops to go to if I come back some day.

Here is a link to my trip pics.

Hi!

Ohoooo!!!
You stayed at Japan and joined with ADA party!?
You enjoyed not only Japanese aqua style, but Yukata and Tatami haha

I know well about both shops, Aqua Forest and An Aquarium.
I link both web site of shops.
If you will come to Japan again and seek for more rare specie
about Cryptocoryne, Echinodorus and Eriocaulon,
I recommed a shop in Nakano only 10mins distance from Aqua Forest by train.

Im glad about your enjoying Japan.
