Bolbitus (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 Bolbitus...
Bolbitus 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 Bolbitus is that it isn't the fastest growing plant.
Because of it's slightly slower growth habit- I've always kept Bolbitus 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 Bolbitus trees for your tank.
DON'T MISS THIS PLANT. It's made for Any Skill Level.

I Can't belive how fast it showed up! I got at least double the amount listed 15 beautiful pieces arrived healthy and pest free. Don't hesitate grab some today.
I have a 75 gallon cichlid tank and they are very rough on plants. This is the only plant that can survive literally anything! And as always great stems healthy leaves and a great amount of plant for the buy. I highly recommend bolbitus!
the plant bolbitus was just like advertised they were pretty big i was happy about that. None came wilted at all
They arrived in good condition despite a longer than expected delivery time. I attached them to a nice piece of driftwood. They look happy!
I ordered the large size but the pieces I received are smaller- about 4-5 inches. But, they're all green and healthy and pest-free so I'm giving 5 stars anyway,
