Care Guidelines

Aquarium Setup:
Anubias is an ideal plant for aquariums with low to moderate light levels. It thrives when attached to hard surfaces like rocks and driftwood or planted in the substrate. These plants do not need to be buried deeply and can be easily secured by wedging them between rocks or roots. Anubias can also tolerate a wide range of water conditions and can adapt to different aquascaping setups. Regular maintenance involves removing dead leaves and trimming back overgrown sections to encourage new growth.

Water Parameters:
Anubias thrives in water with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5 and a temperature range of 22°C to 28°C. It’s tolerant of a variety of water hardness levels, making it suitable for most freshwater aquariums. Regular water changes and good filtration help maintain healthy conditions, although Anubias is not particularly demanding when it comes to water quality.

Diet:
Anubias absorbs nutrients from both the water column and substrate, making it a great candidate for low-tech aquariums without CO2 supplementation. While it does not require intense fertilization, Anubias benefits from occasional liquid fertilizers, especially those containing iron and potassium. Root tabs can be used to supplement nutrients if planted in substrate, but care should be taken not to bury the rhizome, as it may rot.

Growth and Maintenance:
Anubias has a slow growth rate, but it can thrive for many years with minimal maintenance. The plants produce thick, leathery leaves that are dark green and visually striking. They can reach a height of 10–30 cm depending on the species. Regular pruning helps to keep them tidy and encourage new growth.

Compatibility:

Anubias is an excellent plant for community tanks, especially when combined with other hardy plants. It’s compatible with a wide range of fish, including peaceful species like tetras, guppies, and small cichlids. Due to its slow growth, it’s an ideal choice for aquariums where you want to create a stable, low-maintenance environment. Anubias can also tolerate some fish species that might uproot or damage more delicate plants, as its sturdy leaves are less likely to be eaten or uprooted.
