Looking to get a large portion of bolbitis heudelotii P/u or shipped to 90712 Thanks!!

I've ran into a couple before at random shops and I can tell you that there are definitely ones with blue eyes. Now that I actually want one, I can't find them!

Wow, I must be color blind then. There are color variations within the L144 name. Probably because everyone and their mother decided to breed them when they caught momentum in the market. Their eye colors range anywhere from blue, brown, to even black.

The blue eyes are the reason why I want an L144, lol

Aw man, everyone is breeding super reds now. I missed the L144 bandwagon. :banghead:

I've been having a hard time looking for these guys. I would prefer local pick-up in SoCal, but willing to have it shipped if you're fairly close and shipping prices aren't too ridiculous. I know the heatwave we just had made shipping daily difficult, but it's starting to cool down.

You can just cut the plants at the rhizome to separate them. Java ferns will also grow plantlets from their leaves. You can wait until the plantlets detach or you can remove them yourself once a small rhizome starts to form.

Java fern can get pretty tall, but it takes a while. Anubias can be background, midground, or foreground depending on what species you get. Anubias can have 1 ft+ long stalks with leaves the size of a child's face or stalks just cm long with pencil eraser sized leaves.

It's possible to have a "carpet" with crypt parva. Unless you're able to buy a lot at one time to make a dense "carpet", it'll probably take a while to fill in because of the slow growth.

Thread, fishing line, or even superglue gel.

If you just got it, just keep on keeping on and don't change anything until you know for sure.

Only if you get root feeders, like crypts. They're useless for java fern, anubias, and bolbitus. Yup, just buy them and put them in.

+1 on the Purigen

Fertilizer won't be necessary. I wouldn't dose ferts until you have a decent amount of plants. Anubias and java fern are notoriously slow growers so fert intake might not be high enough at this time. Algae can take advantage of these excess ferts, starting more problems.

Wow, pretty high lol When treating with heat only you want to keep the temp up for 10-14 days. Just keep a close eye on your fish as the days go by.
