Few days ago, I found the smallest Bucephalandra near Kanowit of central part of Sarawak. There are a lot of new species of Bucephalandra in Borneo...this one should be a new species. Most of them are growing under the water. Also, this is my first time discovered that Cryptocoryne striolata grows together with Bucephalandra!

Underwater shot:






Crypt. striolata grows less than 2 meters away from Bucephalandra! Amazing!

Hi Mike, have you tested the water parameter before? It might be interesting information if you do. How is the pH, TDS, temperature, etc. Thanks :-)
