Bucephalandra Kedagang is a popular aquatic plant native to Borneo, specifically the Kedagang River region. It belongs to the Araceae family and is highly prized in the aquarium hobby for its striking appearance.
-Leaves: Small to medium-sized, elongated, and slightly wavy with a deep green to bluish-green hue. Some variants may exhibit a metallic or iridescent sheen under bright light.
– Growth: Slow-growing, forming dense clusters over time.
– Size: Typically stays compact, with leaves reaching 2-5 cm in length.
– Roots: Rhizomatous, attaching well to rocks and driftwood.
Care Tips for Bucephalandra Kedagang
1. Lighting
-Moderate to low light is ideal. Too much light can cause algae growth on the leaves.
– LED or T5 lighting works well.
2. Water Parameters
– Temperature: 22–28°C (72–82°F)
– pH: 6.0–7.5 (slightly acidic to neutral)
– Hardness:Soft to moderately hard water (GH 4–10)
3. Substrate & Placement
– Attach to hardscape (rocks, driftwood) using super glue gel or fishing line.
– Can also be planted in substrate, but ensure the rhizome is not buried to prevent rot.
4. CO2 & Fertilization
– CO2 is beneficial but not required—it enhances growth and coloration.
– Use a balanced liquid fertilizer like Easylife Profito (containing micronutrients like iron) to promote healthy leaves.
5. Flow & Water Quality
– Prefers gentle to moderate water flow.
– Regular water changes (20–30% weekly) help prevent algae and maintain water quality.
6. Propagation
– Cut the rhizome into sections (each with a few leaves) and replant.
– New shoots will develop over time.
7. Common Issues
– Algae: Keep lighting moderate and maintain good water flow.
– Melting: May occur when first introduced but should recover with stable conditions.
Final Thoughts
Bucephalandra Kedagang is a stunning, low-maintenance plant perfect for nano tanks, aquascapes, and shrimp tanks. With proper care, it thrives and adds a beautiful natural touch to any aquarium.
Fissidens fontanus is a delicate feathery dark green aquatic moss clinging to driftwood or rocks with its rhizoids, forming roundish cushions or lawn-like populations. It is also known under the synonym Octodiceras fontanum and in the trade as “Fissidens geppii”. We cultivate two variants of this species, which differ in size when growing in the same environment. The smaller variant is what we call “Phoenix moss”. It develops around 3 to 5 mm long leaflets, is of a somewhat darker green and has an overall more delicate growth habit and looks more compact as it branches more readily than the larger variant.
