Anubias barteri var. angustifolia (afzelii)

Anubias barteri var. angustifolia is a beautiful plant with long, narrow leaves. Anubias barteri var. angustifolia used to be sold as Anubias afzelii, but the latter is actually a much larger species. It is grown under the same conditions as Anubias barteri var. nana. It is not eaten by herbivorous fish.

Anubias barteri var. caladiifolia

Anubias barteri var. caladiifolia "1705" is an adaptive and sturdy plants available. It accepts almost any water quality from soft to hard and from acid to weakly basic water. It is very slow growing like any other Anubias species and therefore the leaves are quite exposed and likely to develop a cover of epiphytic algae by age. This is less likely to happen if it is grown in soft and slightly acid water where less inorganic carbon are available for the production of epiphytes. If problems with epiphytes occur you may then try to cut off the CO2 enrichment as the carbon requirements of Anubias is very low due to the slow growth, and the epiphytes are most likely to decline after a while.

Compared to Anubias barteri var. nana the leaves of Anubias barteri var. caladiifolia "1705" are slightly more rounded but also larger. It is also slightly sensitive to transport and environmental changes than Anubias barteri var. nana. None of the Anubias species like to have their rhizomes buried in the substrate and the growth is actually most successful if the plants are fixed to rocks, roots or other material of decoration and it provides very nice ornamental effects.

Anubius Barteri BR Medium

Anubias barteri "coffeefolia" is a very beautiful, low variety of Anubias barteri. It is characteristic that the leaves arch considerably between the leaf ribs, and the new leaves are red-brown. The colour combination and leaf shape make it an attractive variety in both large and small aquariums. It flowers frequently under water but does not produce seeds there. Anubias species seem to grow so slowly that they do not realise that they have been submerged. It is not eaten by herbivorous fish. Tropica
