Anubias barteri var. barteri

Anubias barteri var. barteri is a slow-growing marsh plant that thrives particularly well in shady locations. It shows a great variability in the number of leaves, which are usually large, and has dark green, tough leaves. This plant is often kept in aquariums with cichlids. In its natural habitat, Anubias can be found in shady to partially shaded areas of fast-flowing waters, where it often grows emersed or on rocks and tree trunks. Direct strong lighting can negatively impact its growth.
