anubias barteri narrow leaf (imported)

This is a great Anubias for a mid to foreground setting that requires heavy planting and will hold up to cichlids and other tough settings. The leaves of this narrow leaf variety of Anubias Barteris are narrower than the ‘Nana’ variety and the plant is much more compact.

It is a short, bushy variety, which is very tolerant of almost any condition. It readily attaches to driftwood or rocks and the rhizome creeps along any structure.  It can be planted in substrate as long as the rhizome is not buried otherwise it may rot. Only the white roots should be buried.

• Low light plant for easy maintenance
• Easy to attach to decoration in the tank for easy growth 
• Helps convert toxins in the water and heavy metals into safe organics  
• Promotes oxygen rich water 
• Provides hiding places for shrimp and baby shrimp
