Cyprus difformis from a trip long ago. Required a lot of parameters to flourish.

New leaves from my Indian fern. Sorry for the bad pic. No time to take snaps from the camera.

Its already too late. Half my spots have already disappeared.

Thought this was an egeria sp. But turned out to be potamogeton perfoliatus. Will click a better pic once it settles and grows more.

Just got it from a friend who found it in a pond.

Sorry to hear that, but next time you get some how about spreading it across and maintaining a repository of what is with whom. Just a suggestion

Already doing that, but I don't give it randomly, only to those who have the right tank parameters and are serious and wont commercialize it.

So, although I've been spending lesser time in the hobby due to exams, I was lucky to procure some insane mosses. Of course they're native. They're semi aquatic and need extremely cool temperature and co2 bombing to grow.

Some are purely terrestrial. Some of them were ferns.

Will post one by one so I can create more suspense on the thread ;)

Hymenophyllum denticulatum. Probably the best fern there is. Even better than the wayanad fern
