🌿 Bolbitis Mini – Compact Rhizome Fern for Natural Aquascapes
Bolbitis Mini is the smaller, denser cousin of the classic Bolbitis fern — perfect for nano tanks or aquascapes that need subtle texture without overwhelming space. With tight, frilled leaves and slow, compact growth, it’s a favorite for shrimp tanks, foreground accents, and low-light setups.
Like all Bolbitis varieties, it thrives without CO₂ or fertilizers and prefers to anchor to rocks, driftwood, or sit lightly above the soil in a natural aquarium system.
