Is this Microsorum 'narrow'

[afroturf]

For a scape I'm in the process of making I planned on using Microsorum 'narrow', I brought three pots of the web. When they arrived they looked larger than expected.

I already had a tiny amount I'm a tank I used to keep some Betta coccina in, their leaves are less than 1cm wide and the Microsorum 'narrow' I brought is alot larger. The shop assured me it was 'narrow' even though the lable just read Microsorum pteropus.

Here is a pic, what do you think?

I think I'll most likley post it in the 'for sale' section. Any one know where I can find the narrow type?

However this is not the Narrow Tropica label, but the plant looks really to Narrow to me.
Tropica plants arrive with large leaves. So do not worry about that. Once you dropped into your tank wait a few weeks til the new leaves start to grow then you can remove the old larger leaves.

I did the same thing a few weeks before.

This is how the plant looked like after planting:

and 6 weeks later:

after this photo i removed the majority of the larger leaves.

the regular Microsorum P. has wider leaves. so no worry.

To be honest, from the picture i would be tempted to suggest that actually the plant is both a Microsorum P, and Microsorum P "narrow" both in one pot... the leaves on the left hand side look like the normal Microsorum, just follow what Viktor said and you cant go wrong really.
