    Hi heavenkid,

    I have the plant (from the Adiantum genus) which is almost identical to the picture I gave earlier. I bought it as a terrestrial plant from Ikea last month and I am very doubtful that it can be kept as an aquatic plant. I also saw it a few days back when I was at C328 thus my memory is still fresh.

    The common name is 'Maidenhair fern'.

    Seaview have them also. I bought some and tried planting them submerge but it don't seems right. Their leaf is so waterproof that it reflect the lights and look silverish
    under water, it doesn't looks natural in the tank. So I remove them from the tank and plant them in soil but they don't seems to do well either. So conclusion is I didn't do my homework before purchasing and lost $3. Haa...
