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.

Excellent quality bolbitis and more than 6-8 stems. Also it should be mentioned what I received was grown submersed which is a major plus... no emersed to submersed transition period. I'll buy more!
Absolutely worth it!! stunning plants .... instant beautification of the tank, all the small fish/shrimp immediately loved it!!
They came in excellent condition and size that were a little larger than I expected.
Just hope
My light is not too bright for them
I received the plants faster than expected and they look great and taller than what I ordered. Definitely an upgrade to my tank. Wanna thank you guys for the kewl plant and for hooking me up with bigger plants.
