Anubias Barteri "Broad Leaf" is an exceptionally hardy, slow-growing freshwater plant that is highly sought-after for its large, tough, spade-shaped green leaves. Perfect for beginners and advanced aquascapers alike, this robust epiphyte does not require a soil substrate. Its thick creeping rhizome can easily be anchored directly onto rocks, driftwood, or aquarium decorations. Thanks to its thick, leathery foliage, it is one of the few plants that can be safely kept with herbivorous fish like goldfish or cichlids without being eaten.
Key benefits:
Extremely Hardy & Low Maintenance: Thrives in low-light environments and adapts easily to varying water conditions.
Versatile Hardscape Mounting: Feeds directly from the water column through its exposed roots, freeing up substrate space.
Herbivore Resistant: Tough, leathery leaves protect it from being damaged or eaten by plant-shredding fish.
Specifications:
Form: Loose
Growth Rate: Slow
Placement: Midground to Background
Light Requirement: Low to Medium
Co2 Requirement: Low (Not required)
Water type: Freshwater
Suggested use: Do not bury the root-like rhizome in sand or gravel, as this will cause the plant to rot. Use a small amount of reef-safe cyanoacrylate gel (like Valigoo Coral Glue) or dark thread to attach the rhizome directly to driftwood, stones, or hard decorations.
What’s included: 1 x Loose portion of Anubias Barteri "Broad Leaf"
