Anubias Barteri - Big

Anubias barteri

Anubias barteri is a hardy and reliable aquatic plant widely used in planted aquariums for its thick, dark green leaves and strong rhizome structure. Known for its durability and low maintenance requirements, this plant is an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists.

It grows slowly and thrives in a wide range of aquarium conditions. Anubias barteri is commonly attached to driftwood, rocks, or other hardscape, where it creates a natural and mature look in aquascapes. Its sturdy leaves also make it suitable for aquariums with fish or shrimp that may nibble on softer plants.

Care Tips

• Lighting: Low to Medium

• CO₂: Not required

• Placement: Midground to Background (attached to hardscape)

• Growth Rate: Slow

• Propagation: Divide the rhizome carefully to grow new plants

Aquascaping Notes

Anubias barteri is commonly used in nature-style aquascapes, low-tech planted tanks, and shrimp aquariums. Its broad leaves provide strong contrast against finer plants and mosses, helping create balance and structure in planted layouts.

⚠️ Important: Do not bury the rhizome in the substrate. Attach the plant to rocks or driftwood using thread or aquascaping glue to prevent rot.

Please note that leaf size and number of leaves may vary slightly as these are natural aquatic plants.
