Java Fern Planting

[Bill Stock]

How much space does one Java Fern require? In other words how far apart
should I put the plants? Will it grow on Limestone (rock not powder).

I tried Hornwort in the GF tank, but it was gone this morning. Time for Plan

Java fern can grow over a foot wide, but it grows slowly. If you are
planting small cuttings, I would suggest you plant them about 6 to 8 inches
apart, and move them again in a few months if need be. My biggest java ferns
are about 18 inches across, but I've had them 4 years. The nice thing about
java fern is that most fish won't eat it.Even goldfish will usually take one
bite and decide they don't like it.
