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
My girl loves to decorate her tank. I threw these in and she went to town. Tank looks great with these hardy looking plants.
Very impressed with the quality of all of my new plants. My tank looks amazing. I will definitely buy again from your company. Thank you
Nice plant well packaged too. I put them in 4 of my aquarium just waiting to see them start to grow
Very nice a very nice addition to my 75 cichlid tank keep up the good work.
Shipment was well packed and insolated. Included a cooling pack which was needed as UPS left the package out in the sun on the driveway, not on the covered front door. The bolbitis plants were nicely wrapped and arrived very healthy. The size and amount were more than expected. I will be a repeat customer if they indeed hold up to my tank full of African Red Jewel Chiclids.
