are there any native ferns that can grow in bog conditions, roots in water or partially submerged? I've heard that American royal ferns can, but that is the only one I know of. the aquarium is a 150 gallon (5ft x 2ft x 2ft) that's half filled

Also, how deep of water can juncus rushes take? I think mine is Juncus patens, but am not 100% sure

I see walking ferns in very moist environments, but not wet. That is about all I can say about that.

Azolla of course, but I presume you're looking for a fern that LOOKS like a fern.

resurrection ferns?

As your fellow, I can demand of you no more, and accept no less, than I allow to be demanded of myself

Yeah, though I still do like the stuff like azolla

resurrection ferns?

I thought about those. I forgot the botanical name for them.

I have some semi aquatic orchids in the tank and just found out that some succulents actually grow in water too. It is interesting how many plants seem to grow in water or bog conditions
