Anubias Barteri

Anubias Barteri is a hardy, slow-growing aquatic plant popular in freshwater aquariums. It features broad, dark green, leathery leaves that can grow up to 12 inches tall, making it ideal for midground to background placement. Native to West Africa, this plant thrives both fully and partially submerged. It attaches easily to rocks, driftwood, or other aquarium décor rather than being buried in substrate, as burying the rhizome can cause rot. Anubias Barteri tolerates a wide range of lighting conditions—from low to moderate light—and prefers slightly acidic to neutral water (pH 6.5–7.5). Its resilience and low maintenance make it a perfect choice for beginners and experienced aquarists alike.
