New Plants today

[jflowers]

Got three new plants today Java fern, Anubias ‘Congensis’ and Bolbitus heudelotii. The java fern I know about, but is bthere anything I should know about the others? I have 80Watts and no CO2 but was told these are low light plants so should be ok.

They all are low light plants. Anbias ‘Congensis’ is even easier to keep alive than the Java Fern, provided that it doesn't get overrun by algae. Bolbitus heudelotii, OTOH, is some what difficult to keep. It seems to like clean water and lots of circulation (not aeration!). The one under my filter did ok, but the one at the corner of my aquarium died only after a month. Oddly enough, both Anubias and Bolbitus seem to do better in water with lower nutrient levels. They both did better when nitrate level was only about 10ppm. Also, you may want to attach the plants to the rocks or driftwood, rather than planting them.
