Cryptocoryne willisii

C. willisii, I keep forgetting the name of this lovely little plant, and in fact I'm not 100% convinced it's actually the plant I have in my tank. But it's what i ordered, and the leaves do look kind of like a picture I've seen.

It's been doing OK in the fish-cam tank, but I have actually moved it to the hospital/quarantine tank to provide a bit of plant life in what was an otherwise emptyish tank.

It seems to do OK in the lowish light conditions, and without added CO2.
