Bolbitis (BULLET PROOF) heudelotii, African Water Fern
You can thank our late friend, the botanical explorer of West Africa Jean-Pierre Heudelot. Our man Jean-Pierre found this cool plant and gave it the heudelotii name. These plants are coming to you DIRECTLY from Africa to Dustin's tanks and on to yours.
Yep. These are the perfect plants for me to import and for you to keep in your aquarium... why?
First- they can handle the abuse of cichlids with their hardy, thick leaves.
Second- They can adapt to almost any tank conditions. I have always kept them in slightly harder water but I hear they can take softer water as well. Like other ferns such as Java Fern, or its smaller cousin, Baby Bolbitis...
Bolbitis likes to be tied to something. Think of it like you would Anubias. Tie it to a nice rock or driftwood. The one slight drawback to Bolbitis is that it isn't the fastest growing plant.
Because of it's slightly slower growth habit- I've always kept Bolbitis in a bit more water flow, which it seems to like and keeps algae off of it.
Grab a cool piece of driftwood, some super glue or wire and make yourself some Bolbitis trees for your tank.
DON'T MISS THIS PLANT. It's made for Any Skill Level.

Best looking plants I've gotten and huge variety. Much better option than petco or petsmart.
Many stems with healthy leaves. Rhizome healthy and juicy.
I got 5 plants and it was supposed to be 6-8. Two of the plants were very small. Supposed to be 4-6 inches. I will not order here again.
Arrived in beautiful condition. Can not wait to plant in my tanks.
