Bolbitis heudelotii, also known as African water fern or Congo fern, is a species of aquatic fern found in Africa. It is a popular plant in the aquarium hobby due to its attractive appearance and ease of care.

Bolbitis heudelotii has a rhizomatous growth habit, meaning it spreads by sending out horizontal stems called rhizomes. It typically grows to a height of 10-20 inches (25-50 cm) and has long, narrow leaves that can reach up to 18 inches (45 cm) in length. The leaves are dark green in color and have a glossy texture.

In the aquarium, Bolbitis heudelotii can be grown attached to rocks or driftwood, or planted directly in the substrate. It prefers low to moderate lighting and a neutral pH range of 6.5-7.5. It is a slow-growing plant that requires little maintenance, but will benefit from occasional fertilization and CO2 supplementation.

Bolbitis heudelotii is also found in the wild in streams and rivers in tropical Africa, where it serves an important ecological role as a primary producer and as a habitat for fish and other aquatic organisms.
