Anubias barteri var. glabra from West Africa is the epitome of grace and beauty! With its long, slender leaves, it adds a touch of sophistication to any aquarium. Standing tall at 10-20 cm, this plant has a rhizome that can grow to be 10-15 cm or larger, making it quite the big shot in the underwater world. Growing this plant is a breeze, as it's adaptable to almost any condition - just avoid intense light, and position it in a shady spot under larger plants. Just a friendly reminder, don't cover the rhizome or you'll risk the plant turning into a soggy mess. Herbivorous fish won't be munching on this plant either, so it's a win-win for everyone!
In conclusion, if you're looking for a plant that's easy to grow, adds elegance to your aquarium, and won't be eaten by your fish, Anubias barteri var. angustifolia is the way to go.
P.S. Don't be fooled by the plant's former alias, Anubias afzelii. That's actually a completely different species, much larger in size, so watch out!
