I can not grow Java fern...

From what I have found out since then, the lacy leaves are a separate species of java fern, windelov or something similar. I'm in love with java fern, if anything I'd be buying long before I'm selling.
 
Wow is this true about java ferns in high light? Ouch no wonder...

My Java Fern is under 5 watts per gal. Grow fast and large.
 
I find that java fern moved from low light to high light may need time to acclimate to the higher light. mine died off completely except the rhizome..but it's been a few months and it is starting to grow back. and much thicker.
in my low light to med low light it grows like crazy. I usually give some away with any java moss I am tossing.(3 species of java fern too)
 
Thanks everyone for helps. Imp - very nice pic of the widelov. I got both of these species. I will need be more patient and let it be in the tank. Tanker I was thinking that it would not thrive under high light but I have no worry now.
