Narrow or needle leaf fern in the center of the tank?

Looks like narrow leaf. I had that plant and it grew just as wide/thin.

Same thing. microsorum pteropus

I'm sure that statement will upset some people :hihi:. I've read countless threads with a lot of people basically arguing with each other that there is / is not a difference between the two.

With that said, I've had some narrow and needle-leaf java fern in one of my tanks for over a year and there is a noticeable difference between the two. In my case, the needle-leaf is thinner in diameter than the narrow-leaf. I can try to grab a picture in a little bit if you would like.

+1 ^^

I have both in the same tank and the differences are rather major. Might be hard to find narrow leaf that is 18"+ long.

Thanks for the input didn't mean to start a feud. If I understand what you're saying needle leaf grows longer but is narrower? I'm looking for a subtle addition to my 60p, something that stays under 4 inches or so and ideally would grow somewhat horizontally. Does narrow leaf fit the bill?
