Hi,

I'm Jeffrey, I live in Indonesia, and I want to share with you my Bucephalandra Species Tank. I really loves this species because they are very unique and beautiful.

Currently I have about 500+ Bucephalandra from Borneo, Indonesia inside this aquascape and still build some other tanks to keep new bucephalandra variants from my country.

It's a great pleasure to share with you.







Regards,
Jeffrey

Very Nice!!!

I have about 8 Sp. I was able to have 4 flower for me last winter.

How long have you had this tank running? What is your lighting? How long is the lighting on? What do you use for substrate?

Thank you

Thank you.

This aquascape has been running for 3 weeks. I have just started to collect various types of Bucephalandra (Indonesian variants) recently.

I'm using metal halide lamp 70W cool daylight. It turns on for 6 hours every day. And for the substrate, I use BeniBachi Soil and ADA New Amazonia Soil. The plants seem have a better roots system when planted into the soil.

I saw better root in dirt submersed, andy faster leave growth /flower emersed.
I think for me I need to refine my lighting.

Thanks for sharing your tank. Looking forward to seeing it develop.

@riverboa: salam kenal juga. hehehe... thank you.
@Tex Gal: yes, It's easier to get bucephalandra here and with a very good price too.
@DogFish: Of course, I'll update when I saw something interesting from this tank.

Bucephalandra sp. Sintang
These kind species has unique leaves which are look like a miniature banana tree leaves. The new leaves are yellow color.


Bucephalandra sp. Melawi
I found two variants from this location.




and also got the variegated mutation type of Melawi


Bucephalandra sp. Nanga Pinoh
This is one of the rarest here. Very hard to find in their habitat. Usually already in a very bad shape. They have many unique colors, such as: blue, dark green, lime green.
