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.

Customer Reviews
Plant arrived in excellent condition and is very healthy with lots of roots. I will definitely be ordering more of these plants.
Big healthy pieces loaded with roots and new growth. Phenomenal plant quality and quantity. By far the best plants I’ve received from an online shop.
I’ve ordered from the shop before and been very satisfied, but this time, you have outdone yourselves! The bolbitis in particular is huge! Big enough to split between two or three tanks. Everything arrived super quickly in perfect shape. Fantastic!!!
My first order and I’m so impressed! I’ve ordered online from other places, but this place was the best. Extremely healthy and large plants. Absolutely thriving in my tanks. This will definitely be my go to place going forward. This particular plant is HUGE and healthy. Makes a statement!
I am blown away at the plant I received! It rhizome is very healthy, lots of roots and tons of leaves. It doesn't compare to the fern I recently bought somewhere else.
