Anubias
Anubias is a slow-growing, dark green plant that looks elegant attached to hardscape. It tolerates almost any conditions.
Min Tank5 gal
Temp72-82F
pH6-7.5
Good With
- Any community fish: very hardy
Feeding / Fertilizing
Root tabs near the rhizome help, but it’s not necessary. Liquid fertilizer every 2–4 weeks is plenty.
Care Level
Very easy: thrives in low light
Beginner Tip
Like Java fern, don’t bury the rhizome. Anubias grows very slowly, so algae can grow on the leaves if your light is too bright.
