Java fern

Phillippine variant has much more obvious hammering effect on the leaves and from memory I remember an article on it some years ago in PFK that it can grow on substrate if not buried too much. I dont remember if this was a natural variety or a cultivated one.

Do you mean grow on the substrate emersed or just burying the roots in the substrate underwater

This is about windelov as well, I have a high tech tank now and the java fern windelov is growing much better, but I'm not adding nitrogen or any of that just carbon. So I think they just need a decent amount of light to grow quickly and my main tank is only 0.8 watts per gallon of t8 lighting.

Phillippine can grow submerged in the substrate apparently.
