Microsorium pteropus (Java Fern)
Microsorium pteropus (family Polypodiaceae) is a popular aquatic fern. This plant can tolerate very low light and almost any water quality. These ferns should be grown on top of the substrate rather than buried.

Microworms (nematodes) are another good food for fry, and can be fed to smaller fry than can brine shrimp. Microworms can be raised in plastic containers on a mixture of corn meal, water, and baker’s yeast.] ...
