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.

Customer Reviews
Very good so far
I got twice as much because my tank is short, so I cut all the stems in half.
Excellent quality. Highly recommended this seller!!
They came in great condition I can't wait for them to grow out
You can totally tell that these are in the fern family. Such a rich green, crisp leaves, all healthy upon arrival. I was a goof and forgot to buy gravel so right now they are floating around.
Ordered 2 of the Bolbitus. They arrived quite quickly and in amazing shape. once I opened the package I was stunned at how BIG the plants were! Large dark green and gorgeous looking. It's still cloudily. I just filled the tank today. for reference, it's a 60 gallon Breeder.
