I got the majority of my submersed crypts from petstores and doing special orders with wholesalers.

My list from the ECS is as follows, it includes plants from the Gula wholesalers and from Jan's aquarium. The code is Jan's, I have the locality data in another table that matches up to them.

The C. aponogetifolia is now residing with Ghazanfar Ghori. (except for one, just in case)

My top three species that I wish to know more about or obtain are C. striolata, C. pallidinervia, and C. edithiae.

I have just completed my first importation of plants from Europe and I have the ability to apply for permits with the USDA to import from other localities.
I have not yet obtained a phytosanitary certificate here in the US to export plants, but I have made contact with the office that handles that process and I know who I have to pay $23 dollars to for the honor of getting one.

Indianapolis, IN

C. moehlmannii, C. wendtii, C. parva, C. aponogetafolia, C. 'Tropica' (still need a positive ID, got it from an auction), C. walkeri, unidentified crypt.

All grown submerged

I acquire most of my plants from online trades, auctions, swap meets, and the occasional pet store.

I will have to look through my Kasselmann book, but the one that really stands out is cordata 'Green Gecko'

I have a rough understanding of the import / export process

Species you currently keep. I have at least 50 types of Crypts. A lot of them are wendtii and cordata varieties. I have some plants with collection data. I will be posting my stock list soon.
How you are keeping them, emersed, submersed, etc. Both submerse and emerse. I've been keeping the emerse plants in different soil types including leaf mold and top soil.
Where you got them. I have accumulated many plants over the years from different brick and mortar and online stores, and exchanges with other hobbiests.
The top three species you are interested in learning more about. I am interested in learning more about the culture techniques.
Do you have any knowledge of the permit and export/ import process. Yes, some.

[Kai Witte]

Count me in as a foreign member/advisor from Germany!

Species you currently keep (best guess allowed)

Must be most blackwater species and quite a few others - still less than 100 strains/clones with locality data...

How you are keeping them, emersed, submersed, etc.

Both - usually an emersed plant for propagation/flowering and submersed backups, especially for those blackwater crypts which actually prefer growing submersed. Here's a thread with more info on one of my cultivation approaches: http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/foru ... ts-in.html

Where you got them

My main sources are other ECS members, of course. I've also collected in SE Asia myself and have some international contacts.

The top three species you are interested in learning more about

Well, lemme see:
The thwaitesii species group, the striolata species group, and minima/scurrilis.
I'm also really fond of pallidinervia, yujii, and zaidiana...
Additional species of which I'm trying to collect strains with locality data are affinis, longicauda, and nurii.
I'm currently experimenting to get a better grip on cultivating bullosa, striolata, and uenoi.
Does that count?

Do you have any knowledge of the permit and export/ import process

With a bit of effort, shipping to the US and Canada has been working fine.

I have minima, pygmea and ideii on the way w/ locality info (thanks Chris)

How you are keeping them, emersed, submersed, etc.
The latter 3 will be emersed and I'm hoping to convert one of the Lagenandras soon.

The rest are all submersed for now.

Where you got them
All are from trades or purchases with other hobbyists.

The top three species you are interested in learning more about
schulzei, fusca and bullosa
