Anubias Barteri is native to rainforest streams in West Africa. This undemanding species is one of the easiest aquarium plants to grow. It enjoys dimly lit tanks and thrives without the need for CO2 fertilisation. When planted, keep rhizome above the substrate as the roots will otherwise tend to rot. Tanks with big cichlids and plant-eating fish are great to pair with this plant. Herbivorous fish do not eat this plants tough and robust leaves. Anubias Nana is grown in the same conditions, but the Barteri becomes larger, 24 - 45cm (9 - 17 inches) in height. Visible roots 10 - 15cm (4 - 6 inches) in length. But, this plant can vary in size and leaf shape; the leaves are coarse, green ovals. It will tolerate strong lighting but, planting in shady spots prevents dreaded algae growth.
