I love this plant. but like the description says...VERY SLOW GROWER. You'll be lucky if you get 1 leaf a week. It stays alive really well so more then likely you'll end up doing something really bad to kill it before you ever get a chance to see it's beauty when grown really well. I've see this tied to a small piece of drift wood with the roots hanging down. Let me tell you it's a beautiful sight. the owner said it took me years to get it like that though.

beautiful addition to any aquarium, especially a low tech one. It grows tiny, but don't expect it to form a carpet as it grows very slowly. Anubias species are the best plants for begginers.

This is an adorable little plant that did great in my 2.5g betta tank (2 9W 6500K bulbs). I left it floating and it was growing new leaves fairly quickly. Eventually, my betta was having bouts of fin rot so I decided to relocated the plant to a 30g and attached it to a big lava rock while he was recovering. In the new setup, the plant was getting covered in hair algae and now has all this staghorn algae attached to it.

Hopeful with the addition of a Siamese Algae Eater and some Japonica shrimp this or next week, the algae problems with be taken care of.
