Peacock fern

[Fishstuff45]

I was at my lfs and saw a plant called a peacock fern. I read online that it is a terrestrial plant but at my lfs it said it was aquatic. Does anyone have any experiance with these and can tell me a bit on how to care for them?

It's not aquatic. Good for terrariums and paludariums (or vivariums, ripariums, whatever you wanna call them).

Yep, Petco has them labeled as semi-aquatic.

At least you did your research. Some of us (myself included) have not been so lucky. Cant tell you how proud I was of my ribbon plant... until I found out it was a non aquatic.

My Petco has them labeled as aquatic. I bought about five of them back in the day before I realized.. Not only are they not aquatic, but they rot much quicker when submerged than most like ribbon plants.
