Because of its tiny size, Cryptocoryne Parva is considered the smallest Cryptocoryne species. Cryptocoryne Parva Mini, which is even smaller than the renowned Cryptocoryne Parva, is currently the tiniest Cryptocoryne.

Minimalist in size, Cryptocoryne Parva Mini is a nano-sized plant. As a carpet foreground plant, it is green in color and grows very compactly and low to the ground. Rumors have it that Cryptocoryne Parva Mini originated in Indonesia, however, we have not been able to confirm this. Our knowledge of its origin is limited, but we suspect it is a 'lab-made' product, which means it is derived from tissue culture and may have been altered by humans to achieve its amazing size.

Regardless, this is a good plant for creating a carpet appearance in the aquarium.
Due to the plant's tiny size, freshwater shrimp, such as Amano Shrimp and Red Cherry Shrimp, are great for cleaning and eating algae off it.

        WHAT WE CAN'T GUARANTEE

        Even though our plants are very clean, but we can't guarantee they will be 100% pest-free because we cannot be responsible for your aquarium. Please use it at your own risk. We recommended all customers rinse the plants with clean water and quarantine them before use.

        However, plants in tissue culture will be 100% free from pests, algae and never have been contacting with any aquarium.

        1. Due to the nature of the product. We don't guarantee our plants will be pests free. ( snails, algae, hitchhikers )
        2. We don't guarantee our plants will be free of pesticides. We use homemade, organic pesticides in our greenhouse to control pests. We do not use pesticides that contain copper. Copper is toxic to invertebrates such as aquatic snails, crabs, shrimps, etc
        3. We don't guarantee your aquarium success or are responsible for your aquarium inhabitant including but not limited to fish, shrimp, snail, turtle, etc. So please quarantine all plants when use!
        4. Unless specific, we don't guarantee aquatic plants will be grow emerged or submerge.

        Please review your state's regulations on restricted plants, as we are committed to not shipping plants that are restricted in your area. Do not release any plants into the wild or waterways, as this can harm local ecosystems by introducing invasive species.

        Your cooperation in protecting the environment is appreciated. For continuously updated information, refer to the USDA State Noxious Weed list here.

        Very healthy and has grown very well in a shady location in one of my tanks. Beware putting it in a very high-light tank since it will attract algae.

        Very good

        Crypt Parva Mini arrived very healthy, in larger quantity than I hoped for, and quicker than anticipated. I'm very happy with my purchase!

        Fantastic little forground plant that should eventually carpet.

        So I'm setting up a pair of 6 gallon cubes and decided I wanted the future carpet to be as low maintenance as possible (minimal trimming). Crypt parva was my immediate thought since she's SLOW. Then I found APF and one of their competitors had a 'mini' version! Well obviously I was gonna try that out. In the end I ordered from APF because their stock was the best on the plants I was after and the prices were just as good or a hair better. Glad I did. Order arrived quickly, full of healthy plants despite 40 degree lows in transit (would later order something from said competitor because their shipping was cheaper, and 2/3rds of the order arrived melted despite 55 degree overnight lows... I have some regrets about THAT one). This particular plant being in tissue culture, I had some apprehension about the whole "cup or bag" thing as my brain had just decided there would be less in the bags. I was so very, very wrong. I ordered 3 to create plugs for the front 3 inches of the first 6 gallon. I ended up only using one! I went ahead and added the second pack to a quarantine tank, and the 3rd pack to the second 6 gallon. After my combined experiences with APF and the other unnamed competitor, I will absolutely be ordering from APF again. Bonus points on the plant itself... we're over a week in being submerged from TC with zero melt! In a crypt parva! Mind blown.
