    Hi all veterans, i need help in identifying a plant i just bought.
    It was labelled as bolbitis heudelotii. However after some googling, i realise its not.
    I figured it should be some kind of fern?

    Fyi the longest strand is about 24cm tall.

    Thank you guys!
    I have some Taiwan Narrow Fern in the same tank which looks very similar to it. But this fern size is so much larger hence need to confirm here.

    P.S. too long never post here, couldn't locate the image rotation function

    Re: Need help identifying a plant

    I've kept the different varieties of java fern before and i do notice that the same variants can exhibit different growth forms/height depending on the tank conditions they are kept in. It all depends on the combinations of light, Co2 and nutrient availability which help shape how they grow.
