Want pink rather than red? Pink Godzilla, also known as Kedagang Pink, shifts from light pink through deep magenta depending on light and maturity. It is the pink member of the Godzilla family, and a distinctly different plant from Red or Green Godzilla.

Plant Profile
- Common name — Pink Godzilla Buce, also known as Kedagang Pink
- Scientific name — Bucephalandra sp. 'Pink Godzilla'
- Origin — Borneo
- Placement — Midground, on wood or stone
- Mature height — 3–5 in
- Growth rate — Slow
Care
- Difficulty — Beginner
- Light — Low to medium. Too much light brings algae it cannot outgrow
- CO₂ — Not required. It deepens colour and speeds growth, nothing more
- Water — 72–82°F · pH 6.0–7.5
- Substrate — Not required. Attaches to hardscape
- Growth habit — Amphibious. Also grows emersed
- Propagation — Rhizome division
Grower’s Notes
- Never bury the rhizome. Roots may sit in substrate; the rhizome cannot. Buried, it rots — the usual way an expensive Buce is lost.
- The colour genuinely changes. Pink Godzilla shifts through its range as the plant matures and as lighting changes, so the shade you receive is not necessarily the shade you keep. This is the plant behaving normally.
- Give it flow. Bucephalandra are rheophytes from fast Borneo streams, and moderate current keeps the leaves clean of debris and algae.
- Divide by cutting the rhizome, keeping several leaves and some root on each section.
- Farm-raised, not wild-collected. All the Bucephalandra we carry is farm-grown, and much of it is raised from tissue culture rather than collected from Borneo.
Godzilla and Kedagang are the same name — the colour is what tells them apart. See also Kedagang Red (Red Godzilla) and Green Godzilla, which are different plants.

Please keep in mind that Live Arrival Guarantee only guarantees that live stocks will be alive upon arrival. We cannot guarantee that you will continue to have success with them.

WHAT WE CAN'T GUARANTEE
Even though our plants are very clean, but we can't guarantee they will be 100% pest-free because we cannot be responsible for your aquarium. Please use it at your own risk. We recommended all customers rinse the plants with clean water and quarantine them before use.
However, plants in tissue culture will be 100% free from pests, algae and never have been contacting with any aquarium.
- Due to the nature of the product. We don't guarantee our plants will be pests free. ( snails, algae, hitchhikers )

- Unless specific, we don't guarantee aquatic plants will be grow emerged or submerge.

Customers praised this aquarium plant for arriving "vibrant and healthy" with "amazing texture and leaf shape." Many noted plants were smaller than expected but thrived in low-tech tanks without CO2. Shoppers appreciated generous portions and minimal melting. One caution: it's described as "delicate." Overall, customers were "super duper happy" with quality and condition.
- This pink godzilla has some amazing texture and leaf shape.
- Plants came in vibrant and healthy and looked beautiful.
- All of my plants came in perfect condition and decent sizes.

Made some purchases recently when they had the buy free and got one free or I think it was buy two get one free deal. I'm super duper happy with the order I got all of my plants came in perfect condition and decent sizes. I had ordered three tufts of Phoenix Moss because I'm used to places not giving too much but honestly I had way more than I needed which is great and my shrimps are very happy
R
This is the first buce that has not shown signs of any melting. Of course, this is now my fourth time buying bucephalandra, so maybe I've learned not to do such large water changes...and that might be why my buce dark green wavy or my buce malawi pink has some melting leaves.
Anyways, this pink godzilla has some amazing texture and leaf shape. I don't run any CO2 or a fancy set up, so I might never see any other color than green and its growth might be slower, but for my tank, this pink godzilla was exactly what I wanted.
J
Purchased 3/3/24. Photo shows plant on 7/9/24 after being in a VERY low-tech tank. Interesting little plant! I prefer buce that aren't the standard greens, which is why I decided to try this one. Delicate, though.
F
These plants came in vibrant and healthy and looked beautiful. They were on the smaller side but that that was perfectly fine. The All plants were clean with zero melt and the whole order was insulated to protect the plants. All plants I received from APF were in the best shape of any I have received for any other store.
R
As always, my plants arrived in great condition. I can't wait to see this little one grow. It's going to be quite beautiful once it settles in. Thank you APF!
A
Healthy plants, flowered after only 4 months.

First, this plant was so beautiful and healthy. That being said, when I received it, I didn’t know I had purchased this plant. I thought I had purchased a background plant! I reached out to customer service and they assured me I had all my plants. I basically took out all my plants in my new tank and realized that this was indeed the correct plant I had purchased. I was looking at a lot of new plants at this time so I may have confused myself. So, this was not a plant I was expecting, however, I’ve learned to love it. I wanted to give this a 4 star because I feel like the picture doesn’t depict it accurately (or as close to what I received - yes they do have a disclaimer about that). But, I give this a 5 based on its healthy look, was well packaged, clean, and versatile. I initially kept it as a foreground plant but when I took everything out, I decided it would look better attached to my spider wood. And I agree with the previous reviewer: it’s smaller then I expected. Do I regret my purchase? No way!
S
Plants arrived looking great. The leaves weren’t as look as i was expecting but hopefully they will grow out longer in time
H
Compact but generous portion in the bundles. Looks great!
R
Glued it to a piece of Malaysian driftwood. Looks great in my aquarium. Thanks Rich.

No one makes better Buce deals than APF and this little guy is no exception to the rule absolutely love this Buce that stem really pops on some dark driftwood! 5 ⭐'s!!!
J
Blooming

Love
J
Very happy with my Buce, I love the matte look on the leaves that sets it apart from the other plants in my tank.
K
The plant is certainly a bit smaller than I expected but I know it will grow. It looks healthy and was easy to add to my tank!
J
My second time ordered Buce plants from APF and i am very happy with all of the Buce plants that I received.
M
This is the first Buce that I have tried, I ordered 2 and got the 3rd bunch free. Each bunch had 3 smaller bunches. All the plants were healthy and are thriving, even after the shipping process. This is the second order I have had from the aquarium plants factory and honestly I regret buying plants from the pet store. These plants are so healthy and clean. The worst part is deciding which Buce to get!
R
was perfectly packaged and arrived very healthy can't wait to see them grow
E
I ordered 1 bunch of this little thing and when I unwrapped it I had 4 individual plants in the pack. Love these plants and i always get healthy plants.
J
Are these bare root buce grown emerged or submerged?
Our bare-root Bucephalandra plants are grown emersed (above water) in nursery conditions, since that produces sturdier rhizomes and faster growth before shipping. Once submerged in your tank, it's normal for some of the emersed leaves to melt back as the plant adjusts - new submersed-form leaves will grow in as it acclimates, so a little patience in the first few weeks goes a long way.
