Bolbitis heudelotii On Driftwood - Nano

Bolbitis heudelotii, the African water fern, is a distinctive aquarium plant with deeply lobed, semi-transparent dark green leaves growing from a creeping rhizome. This nano version comes pre-attached to a small piece of driftwood, creating a compact ready-made feature well suited to smaller aquariums and nano aquascapes where the unusual leaf texture adds character and visual depth at a small scale.

Bolbitis grows in low to medium light without CO2 injection and benefits from good water movement — position it near a filter outlet for the best results. It is slow-growing but long-lived and remarkably easy once its water flow preference is met. The semi-transparent leaves are particularly striking in small tanks where they can be viewed up close.

The rhizome is pre-attached to the driftwood so no further attachment is needed — simply rinse and place in the aquarium. Position the piece where it will receive reasonable water flow. Never bury the rhizome. The nano size is suited to aquariums of 20 litres and above and works particularly well in shrimp tanks and detailed nano aquascapes.
