Yea you got some big specimens of Java fern there.
Help me to identify these two plants. I thought they are java fern but their stems are long. The plants are about 2 fts tall. The two pictures were taken from the front and the side of the tank.

I got them from C328 two weeks ago. I was looking for java ferns and the lady boss took out these from the back of the shop and asked me whether I would be interested. They looked good for my 2.5 ft height tank and I bought two. I asked her whether these tall plants came in often, she said yes.
All the java fern pictures I saw were small and with short stems and these 2 plants are different, so I posted the question on the plant ID.
By the way, I am thankful to the forumers who directed me to C328. It was a pleasant experience, the lady boss was so helpful and I will go there more often despite the long distance.
Wahhh.. I will be there today to grab some. Thanks pal.
Yes she is very nice. Try going there during off peak hours, she will be more helpful.

the one on left is bolbitis heteroclita
Thanks for the pointer. It looks like bolbitis heteroclita from the pictures I found on the web but my plant is much taller. It is a 3-leaf plant.

The plant is a java fern. It is termed as Microsorum pteropus var. latifolius. I think it's the largest of the java fern family, grows to a maximum height of 40 cm.
Something about the water & the fishes that calms me down.

Trident shape leaf is a trademark of this variant.
