    It should do ok. Generally likes higher flow.

    It is very similar to C. balansae, but C. aponogetifolia generally grow much taller. Leaves have the same dimpled appearance.

    eBay likely has them, or aquariumplants.com will have them. Crypts usually do better in RO water with 1 tsp of aquarium salt per gallon, or at least that's worked well for me for 20+ years. That's why they grow so well in a Florida waters.

    I can't be positive on the species from the picture, but C.balansae and C.retrospiralis look similar and are easy to to find on eBay. It could also be a Aponogeton species. A.boiviniatus and A.longiplumulosus both have similar leaves and are also easy to find.
