Can anyone identify the emmersed plant in this tank at the nature aquarium gallery?? It's shown in the book of Ada but can't find any info on it


Could it possibly be bolbitus??

Looks like that: http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/foru ... bitis.html

Thanks clonitza I'd say that's got to be it or close to. Looks like I'm going to be needing a mister according to that thread too if I try it emmersed.

Hi all,
It definitely looks like a fern, but I don't think it is a Bolbitis sp. With ferns it really is "pick a name", but something like a "Leather or Mangrove Fern", Acrostichum spp might be nearer.

Don't think Amano's using plants outside of his nursery Darrel. 🙂

Thanks Mike, I should have thought of that. This is Bolbitis heudelottii emersed.

and this is Acrostichum speciosum.

That's is bolbitus mate, amano has a similar tank in this 'complete works' followed by the comment that in order to get emeresed bolbitus it took the tank 4+ years... Eek! I guess if you can find some already emerged it might speed it all up...?
Looks amazing emerged though.

Crikey 4 years??? Wow. I know the green machines plants are usually sent to them emmersed, wondering if their bolbitus is emmersed Before hand too?

Hi all,
I've got some small bits of Bolbitis heudelotii growing in a bottle garden. When I'm back from France, I'll sort them out and have a go with them outside the bottle garden. I've got a few bromeliads and bits that sit on wet hydroleca and that I mist regularly, so I'll try planting them in the same pot.

"Hydrophyte" was successful with it on a floating raft: <http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/showthread.php?t=96388>
