How do you plant it? Did you tie to rocks or wood? This is emerge leaf it will rot betrer trim it, new leaf will grow from it rhizome unless ypu bury the rhizone on this case the whole thing will rot

Your bolbitis is not the real McCoy. It is just land fern sold as bolbitis. Being a land fern species, submerging in water will kill it. What you are watching is slow death of a plant. Next time when buying water ferns look for these characteristics: soft tissue branches, almost opaque leaf. Land ferns have the opposite, hard stems and leaves.
Ohhhh thanks horst... Mystery solved... Gosh

Bolbitis looks like the pic below (taken from my tank)

that is submerge leaf, the one in the tread starter pic is emerge leaf.
@shadow. Sorry to differ. There is no such thing as emersed bolbitis. The true bolbitis originates from west africa and is a true aquatic fern grown in fast flowing streams. Unlike Java and windolov ferns it can be grown emersed/ submerged. But you can never grow bolbitis emersed due to delicate structure.
Here real example of bolbitis with both emerge and submerge leaf from the same rhizome.
yup ADA Niigata galery, seen it with my own eyes
strong light and plenty of nutrient I guess . As you can see there are 6 MH light on top of it.
