Subtletanks91 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Does any one have or know where to get Buce Paris, motleyana, and keta gang and about how much they run per plant? I really like these ones but can't find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtletanks91 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I'll try and find it. I love the colors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty1776 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I bought my first batch of buce after new years. Coming all the way from borneo, indonesia, half the plants died, and the rest lost almost all their leaves. Damn "home ornaments" 3 months later, having kept them in my dirted tank, they are now shooting leaves out the sides of the rhizone. Hmmm.... that reminds me, i found a little piece that is growing very nicely that was hiding in between some lava rocks I have the buce on. I put it on a little piece of lava rock to make its home. Its not able to be identified which type it is because the leaves are so small. I have a list of the 17 or so species it may be from, one day the leaves will tell... maybe i should make a raok for it? What does everyone think about that ? Could be dark/pink blibis bilbis Brownie ghost Mini catherine Penelope Elise blue Icarus bell Icarus velvet ....others cant remember off the top of my head. You can find rare or hard to find buce in most planted forums, i got mine thru a popular online auction site. Note, however, that these plants are endangered and a protected specie, theres debate as to whether or not the hobby is hurting or helping the plant. Deforresting is going on over there, a an inevitable consequence of industrialization, so some argue that we are saving them before they are destroyed forever. I think its a good thing, just make sure to buy from in the states to avoid legal issues. I cant wait for my leaves to grow out full and catch a pic of a shrimp on it, double awesomeness Good luck finding the ones your looking for, btw I would do buce for buce trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty1776 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Heres a pic of the mystery buce, has 5 leaves, new rhizone, lil silver spots all over the leaf surface, an awesome plant for sure. Below is a pic of a giant red vein elise, you can see the side shoot and how red the vein is, even under just 1 t8 bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Yeah it's hard to find good bucks. Some are ugly. And a lot look the same. I think a raok would be a great idea haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicca32 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 i hear so much about these plants and dont know anything about them. would be cool to own one though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 There are some I don't think are very pretty But there are a lot that are just purely beautiful haha. What about ebay? Do they have bucks at reasonable prices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtletanks91 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I should potentially rename this thread to Buce anonymous haha. Thanks for keeping an eye out guys. Buces are more suited for low tech tanks though aren't they. Every time I put a Buce in my high tech it starts getting bba on the edges. It's really upsetting. :/ Buces are addicting. Just like all plants in this aquarium. When I had my 55 and was just getting into planted tanks I got as many stems etc that I could fit in there. I had about 60 species in there at one point.

h4n Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 yes because they are slower grower so they are algae magnet in high tech tanks, same thing happens to anubias. med tech is perfect for them. Or shaded part of high tech tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Well I guess they all go in the shrimp tank then haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 My name is chris... and I am a full blown addict... The first time I tried buce was a RAOK giftcard I won from Han.... I now just purchased 9 more plants.... and will be changing 1 of my 10g scapes to be built for buce.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hi Chris welcome to Buce anonymous. I would like to take this time to introduce myself now as well. My name is eric. I have a Buce addiction. I started with one mystery Buce, which all the leaves have melted from and now have a green rhizome with no growth. And now have kedagang, brownie phantom, kapit, a baby uknown Buce and some other one. My shrimp tank is now being transformed into a Buce and mini moss tank. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
