Nafe420 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Bulb plant I have had for quite a while Big bunches of this fern Ive had for ages and keeps growing but no idea what it is. Leaf is kind of transparent like subwassertang. And I know this is anubias nana, i have 2 of them but are there different types of the little guys? They're around an inch tall. Would really like to know if anyone could tell me. Thankyou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nafe420 Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Cheers Donny Yea not sure if it's a crypt, bulb is big and only got the 2 new shoots recently. Thanks for the bolbitis ID, just never seen it for sale before. And just suspected nana cos they are around 5 year old plants and have never gotten any bigger thank 1 to 1.5 inches. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beencees Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Bulbitis will tend to have more transparent leaves under higher lighting. Not sure about shops but i usually have plenty for sale. The Anubia appears to be afzelii although it could be a hybrid of some sort perhaps. It's not nana. Growth rates can be very slow on many Anubia types depending on location and environmental factors.

Nafe420 Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Thanks beencees Yea the fern looks a solid green until taken out of the tank. Yea i don't look for plants very often cos I have plenty but maybe in the future. Java fern is becoming a nice looking pest haha I have about 4 species of anubias. With all this hybrid, conditions and such I think I'll just let them be. I thought Afzelii was much larger but anyway, I know you know your plants :-) Sooo any chance of ID on the top pic??
