Anubias Barteri var. Coffeefolia

Anubias Barteri var. Coffeefolia 

Anubias Barteri originates from West Africa and is one of the most popular plant species in the aquarium hobby. The plant is found alongside many riverbanks and streams. Their popularity in the hobby is attributable to their beauty, hardiness and ease of keeping.

Anubias Barteri produces large, oval, green leaves that are thick and sturdy. The plant will withstand the attention of most boisterous and herbivorous fish.

Care & Maintenance for Anubias

Anubias Barteri, like most other Anubias, is highly robust, undemanding and adaptable plant. They have an adapted rhizome (the main root) and roots that will attach to solid objects, such as driftwood, rocks, even aquarium decorations. For this reason, substrate conditions or quality is unimportant. In fact, the rhizome must be placed above the substrate.

• Minimum Lighting Required: Low
• Temperature Range: 65-86°F
• Tank Placement: Foreground-Midground

The plant will thrive in a range of aquarium conditions, including low light. Under bright light, Anubias will grow more compact and new leaves will grow more quickly. Anubias look great when attached to driftwood and rocks. They can be planted in substrate as long as their rhizome is not buried. In open-top aquariums, Anubias can also be grown out of water, providing that the root is submerged.     

Anubias are also available potted, already attached to driftwood, and rocks.
