Microsorum Narrow K

Microsorum Sp. Sg. Durin Besar

Microsorum Narrow Kappas

Good old everyday Java fern

Very gorgeous- !

What plants do you have in here? I love tanks like this with cichlids that totally debunks the myth that you cant have plants with cichlids.

Nothing wrong to have an all JF tank. They are easy, abuse resistant, and not too slow in growth rate. With varieties that differ in texture, size and form, you can group them out into a harmoneous scape. Just don’t inter plant varieties into a chaotic jungle.

I am starting a planted cichlid 125 gal with just two varieies of JF (Trident and broad leaf) to begin with. Depending on how they do with my abusive cichlid, I may add more varieties in the future, such as needle leaf and windowlov.

Unfortunately, it kinda has fallen into the chaotic jungle.
