Bucephalandra biblis is a small-leaved Bornean epiphyte producing glossy, oval, deep green leaves with a characteristic iridescent sheen — a subtle blue-purple shimmer that catches the light and gives the plant a jewel-like quality not found in most aquarium plants. The small leaf size makes it ideal for detail work on hardscape in both nano and larger aquariums.Like all Bucephalandra it attaches to wood or rock rather than being planted in substrate. It is slow growing and undemanding: low light, no CO2 essential (though CO2 enhances the iridescence). Shrimp are drawn to the biofilm that develops on the broad leaf surface.Attach the rhizome to hardscape with thread or aquarium-safe superglue. Do not bury the rhizome. Show more
