I really like these plants and have grown before. And i was wondering if anyone has put them in there vivs. I havent but I want to give it a shot.

I have one growing in the back right part of the tank, its still pretty small, but there is new growth after some of the older broken leaves rotted away from the high humidity.

considering how large staghorns get in just a few years, I wouldn't think them to be the best candidate for a viv, unless you have a VERY large viv.

I currently have a staghorn fern in my 150 gallon tank. My leucs really love hiding under it. I figure once it gets too bit, I'll replace it with a smaller one, but it's been in there for about 5 months now.

Thats what i plan on doing just replacing it with another once it gets to big. They grow slow enough that i wouldnt mind doing this. And they are such a nice plant that i dotn mind it being one of the dominant plants in the tank.

I've got one in my 150 as well. It is only about 8 inches tall now, I suppose I'll just deal with it when it gets too large. It is a beautiful plant and I wanted to include it, I'm now waiting to see how well it does with its leaves very wet in my tank. It's been there about a month now, and on leaf has grown 1 inch in relation to the others, so it is apparently a slow grower. I wonder if there is a way to stunt them?
