In the lower left corner is C. pygmaea. Stay low and go to the right just past the Anubias in the center is C. petchii. Above the petchii is red wendtii, the few tall leaves parallel to the driftwood. On the left above the pygmaea and Anubias are blassi (oval leaves) and spiralis (long thin leaves that go to top of pic). On the shelf to the right, starting low and all the way to the right are some form of willisii, I believe, There also may be some green wendtii in there. The thin fluted leaves above that is balansae.

I wish I knew enough to confirm that. There's more to know about willisii and x willisii than I pretend to know. On top of that, I have bought some completely unidentified green crypts with long petioles that might be some form of willisii as well.

How is Kasselmann on crypt id'ing?

Please excuse my dyslexia. The pygmaea is in the lower left corner, as indicated by the printing on the photo (corrected the text). I've had it in my tank a number of months and it is the slowest growing crypt I have.
(EDIT: the slowest growing crypt in the tank. I have emersed parva that is slower)

In a high light tank with CO2, my red wendtii has turned chocolate color on top with red below as you describe. These are so variable, I shy away from color descriptions as definitive for identification. No pic available at this time.

Is there no way to positively identify a crypt through flowering?
