Description
Bucephalandra kedagang is the classic, most widely kept Bucephalandra variety — smooth, oval leaves in a deep olive-green with a pronounced iridescent sheen that shifts between green, blue, and silver depending on the angle of light. If you're new to Bucephalandra, this is the natural starting point: it is reliable, attractive, and forgiving across a range of conditions.
Like all Buce: attach to hardscape, low light, no CO2 required. Growth is slow and steady. Shrimp are active on the leaf surface, which develops a healthy biofilm. The classic oval leaf shape works well on both smooth and textured hardscape.
Attach the rhizome to wood or rock with thread or aquarium-safe superglue. Do not bury the rhizome.

Is kedagang a good Bucephalandra to start with?
Yes — it is the most widely kept and reliable variety. A natural choice for anyone new to the genus.
Does it have a sheen on the leaves?
Yes — kedagang has a pronounced iridescent sheen that shifts between green, blue, and silver depending on the angle of light. Very distinctive under good lighting.
Does it need CO2?
No — it grows without CO2. Supplementation improves growth rate and can enhance the iridescent sheen.
How do I plant it?
Attach the rhizome to wood or rock with thread or aquarium-safe superglue. Do not bury the rhizome.
Is it safe with shrimp?
Yes — one of the best Bucephalandra for shrimp tanks. The leaf surface develops biofilm that shrimp actively graze on.
