Bolbtis difformis - AQ1719

Bolbitis difformis, commonly known as Mini Bolbitis or Dwarf Water Fern, is a smaller species of Bolbitis that features delicate, finely divided fronds with a light and airy appearance. It is perfect for the foreground or midground of an aquarium, where its compact growth can create a lush, natural look. This plant thrives in low to moderate lighting and prefers a nutrient-rich environment for steady growth. Although CO2 supplementation is not essential, it can significantly improve the plant’s growth rate and overall health. Bolbitis difformis grows best when attached to rocks or driftwood, as its rhizome should not be buried in the substrate to avoid rot. Its slow growth makes it easy to manage, and it is a great option for aquascapers looking to add a unique, fern-like plant to their aquarium that provides texture and contrast without requiring constant maintenance.
