- Popular beginner plant
- Easy care in low light
- Hardy leaves
Java fern is hands down one of the most popular plants in the aquarium hobby. It is a slow grower and will thrive even in low light aquariums. Its thick, long leaves provide excellent cover for fish and fry, and they can often survive in goldfish and African cichlid tanks. It can produce baby plants from dots on the undersides of its leaves, which can be removed and replanted if desired.

I bought 3 Java Ferns and they are doing great! I live in a colder climate and everything was packed very well. Thank you Cory and Team.
The nicest looking plants I’ve ever put in my tanks. Very full, fresh looking.
My Java Fern arrived in good condition, I also selected there simple green this will be my first time using the product. I look forward to future purchases Thanks again.
The plants came very well wrapped and healthy looking. The shipping was also very prompt and arrived just a couple of days after ordering. Thank you!
I ordered two pots of the Java fern and two pots of Amazon sword from Aquarium Co-Op, they came in perfect condition, beautiful healthy plants. You cannot go wrong with anything from Aquarium Co-Op.
I typically don’t have much luck with Java fern, but ordered the Easy Potassium and OMG! It was just what the doctor ordered! It’s gorgeous!
Incredible plants. Showed up beautiful and healthy, and you get more than your money’s worth. I’m very happy with the purchase. However, I didn’t realize that each individual leaf in the pot has its own tiny rhizome, so instead of being able to skip the gluing and just let the plant sink to the bottom under its rhizome’s weight or by using a flexible plant weight, each individual leaf is floating at the top of the tank, so I’ll either leave it that way and let them do what they want (might be interesting), or I’ll have to glue each leaf down to something individually. Love these plants, they’re just going to take more initial work than I thought. (For what it’s worth, they tell you on this page that gluing is necessary, so fair enough, but if you choose to glue, there’s a big difference between gluing one long rhizome with 8 leaves versus gluing 8 tiny rhizomes with 8 leaves.) No biggie, just know what you’re getting yourself into.
Bought some java fern a while ago and got some unwanted hitch hikers. Malaysian trumpet snails, worst thing to have as a hitch hiker. Nice and healthy plants though. Still love aquarium co-op
The plants did pretty well. Was easy to glue onto the log and Looks awesome !
Ordered 2) Java Fern and 3) Cryptocoryne Wendtii Green in October. All were received very healthy and larger than expected. Been in the tank a little over a month (December) and all is well. No melt from the crypts at all. Never disappointed with the co-op!!
