Anubias afzeli Aquarium Plant

Pack Size: Individual plant

A larger version of Anubias barteri var. angustifolia from West Afric; this is a truly beautiful plant with long, narrow leaves that offer contrast.

15-30 cm tall with a rhizome, from which the leaves develop. Very easy to grow since it thrives in almost any conditions, although high light intensity should be avoided. Place it instead in shady positions under larger plants. If planted in the bottom, do not cover the rhizome, it tends to rot. It is not eaten by herbivorous fish.
