Hello,
I'm trying to collect any information I can that has to do with my Bornean/Sumatran lowland forest stream Biotope- right now, it's could be called either or, and once I'm done my "revamp" I'll just call it whatever fits. Anyway, my problem is that I can't get definite answers about the plants from Borneo/Sumatra. Ive heard of java fern, java moss, Barclaya motleyi, and vallisneria being from that region, but haven't gotten a firm answer. So, can anyone tell me which plants are from these islands? Oh, by the way, right now I have both java fern and java moss, vallisneria spiralis, and some hengel's rasboras (trigonostigma hengeli) and a pearl gourami (trichogaster leeri). Thanks in advance!

Those are all asian plants so they will fit well into your setup. Look into some of the hygros, rotalas, and crypts to help compliment these plants as well...can't wait for pictures!

Here are some good reference pages for the crypt species found in Borneo and Sumatra

Also check out this thread for some great Borneo aroid photos - although most of them are, AFAIK, mostly upland species.
