What’s up Fishtank People? Dustin’s Fishtanks bringing it to you on a Sunday baby. How’s everybody doing I hope you are doing well? To day it Sunday it species Sunday. I’m trying to bring it to you with my 1,2,3,4,5 BULLET PROOF Plants. Yep- I’ve got 5 species of aquarium plants that can be kept in nearly all aquariums. Overall these plants don’t require any extra particular care. While I always advise people that plants eat at their roots, these plants however require very little if any feed at their roots. In other words. They can grow just fine in plain gravel. They don’t need a special planted substrate or dirt in their aquarium. This video is made for anyone who is just getting into the planted tank. Many of these plants you will “Out grow” or quickly move on to different species. These plants are like the training wheels for a planted tank. They are hardy, they a generally resilient. They will give you success early and often and then you can move on to the next tier of plants or start trying other species of plants you have been eyeballing. So here are your top 5 bullet proof plants. Number 5. Java Fern We are going to start with Java Fern. Come from Malaysia, the island of Java in Indonesia and thialand. I have seen photos of this plant growing out of the side of a riverbed that has entirely dried up, and it still comes back. This plant can weather the seasons and weather the abuse a beginner might give it. It has black roots like rhizome that prefers to be tied to a rock or a piece of driftwood. If you happen to grab some from me and put a note in the comments, I’ll throw you some wire in with your order at no cost. You can see a video here of how I tied it to a piece of wood and let it grow. (Use Java Fern Jam Video) It isn’t nuts about softwater and because it is a water column feeder, it likes a bit harder water. It grows shorter and thicker in high light, in low light it gets taller and wider. It’s not the fastest grower, but once it’s rooted into something, it will speed up its growth rate. There are some great variations of these plant including, Narrow leaf varieties, frilly “Wendelov” and the always popular, wish I still had some, TRI-Dent java fern. This plant is included in all of my best selling beginner planted combo for a reason. Java Fern, my number 5 most bullet proof plant. We are gonna move from a Fern from Asia to a Fern from AFRICA- Yes sir. Number 5 Fern to my Number 4 Fern. African Water Fern. AKA Bolbitus Heudeloti. Named after the west Africa Plant explorer Jean Piere Heudelot (throwing it back to 1837 for you all) I can’t tell you which plant is hardier, Bolbitus or Java fern. I have imported boxes from Africa and have them sit for 6 days in total darkness and still be just fine. Yes- Bolbitus is found in West Africa SE While they look strikingly different. Their care is about the same. They are a heavy water column feeder and like to be attached to a piece of wood or a rock of some kind. I have found that Bolbitus prefers a bit more water flow if you can provide it. As a general rule, when you hear the words, “Africa” in your planted tank, think, “Hard water” and think HARDY! This plant, just like java fern, takes a second to get established in your tank. It might not do anything for while as it adjust, just set it and forget it (Show Ron Peltier the guy who does the food rotisserie when I say “set it and forget it” If tied down well. Bolbitus is rugged enough to handle the abuse of African cichlids. (they are from the same place.) There are other varieties of Bolbitus, however they aren’t the Bullet proof Bolbitus Heudeloti that I am talking about. There is both a “Baby leaf” Bolbitus and a “Bolbitus Asiatica” Not the same hardy plants we are going after here.
