  Bladderwort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bladderwort is the common name given to the plants of the genus Utricularia, the largest genus of carnivorous plants.
The trapping mechanism of Utricularia is purely mechanical: no reaction from the plant (irritability) is required in the presence of prey, in contrast with the triggered mechanisms employed by Venus Flytraps (Dionaea), waterwheels (Aldrovanda), and many sundews (Drosera).
Utricularia is the largest genus of carnivorous plants.

 Utricularia.
Utricularia, on the other hand, are an enigma; either they are upstaged by the moss growing in their pots, or they are displaying tiny, orchid-like flowers, yet in either case their carnivorous nature remains obscured.
You see, the Utricularia's tiny trapping device is usually buried within the soil, or in the case of aquatic species attached to floating masses of weedy growth.
And the remainder of Utricularia anatomy also diverges greatly from the usual plant structures: they have no true roots, their leaves are considered by many to not be leaves at all, and stems are nearly absent in all but the most primitive species.

 Utricularia Cultivation, Aquatic
Floating Utricularia will either get pushed into one corner of the tank, usually where the lighting is weakest, or get caught in the intake of the filter.
Utricularia are wholly not recommended for the breeding tank, unless you want to be watching the fry get captured.
Utricularia seed seems very viable (I've collected 1/2 cup of mud from one lake that had Utricularia, stored some of it in the fridge for 1/2 year, used the remaining in a jar, and in both cases, young Utricularia come up in droves.

 Utricularia
The genus Utricularia is the only member of it's family, the Lentibulariaceae, of interest to aquarists.
In captive use, the bladders of the dwarf Utricularia are of no concern as "baby-catchers"; indeed, this plant is useful for providing young livebearers and egglayers with hiding space.
About "other" Utricularia species; these are traded through advanced hobbyist and cultivation circles, and variously described (note, not taxonomically classified) by this or that characteristics group or instantaneous "scientific name" du jour.

 International Carnivous Plant Society
Certainly Utricularia reniformis ‘Big Sister’ can be propagated easily by vegetative means, but plants produced by cross pollinating separate clones would be considered Utricularia reniformis ‘Big Sister’ as long as they produced the large leaves characteristic of the cultivar.
Utricularia seedlings resulting from self-pollinations are sometimes nonvigorous, so we recommend the progeny of self pollinations (or even cross pollinations of plants that may be of closely related lineages) should be carefully evaluated for horticultural value.
In Utricularia reniformis ‘Enfant Terrible’, the incision is typically obtuse (instead of acute, as in Utricularia reniformis ‘Big Sister’).

 Utricularia reniformis Enfant Terrible
Another feature distinguishing [Utricularia 'Enfant Terrible' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}]from [Utricularia 'Big Sister' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}] is in the nature of the leaf incision, where the petiole attaches to the leaf blade.
In [Utricularia 'Enfant Terrible' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}], the incision is typically obtuse (instead of acute, as in [Utricularia 'Big Sister' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}]).
Horticulturists who possess [Utricularia 'Enfant Terrible' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}] are sometimes frustrated by this plant when, despite heroic cultivation measures, it does not produce gigantic leaves.
