Topic: Anubias


  
  Blank
Anubias! Surely this family is one of the true stars of the aquatic plant world, with every variety being beautiful, long-lived and completely undemanding, bless em.
All Anubias are happy in very low or high light, any pH between 5.5 and 8.5, any hardness from very soft to very hard, any temperature between 20 and 30C, minimal fertiliser and CO2 (although they like it and will grow better for having some), and they dont mind strong water currents or boisterous fish.
As for planting, Anubias should be tied to a rock or piece of driftwood with fishing line until they become established; if their roots are buried in the substrate they will rot.

Anubias are amphibious plants too, some species feel perfectly fine underneath the water level and even bloom there, and some may only survive occasional flooding.
Now, the myth number two: many anubias are sold right from a greenhouse and are not anywhere suited to be placed inside the aquarium right away, and must be gradually adapted in by slowly raising water level.
Anubias quite easily interbreed amongst themselves, and at the present time experiments are being carried out to produce new decorative forms with divided leaves which will be able to live submerged.

Anubias gracillis (family Araceae) is also a large growing Anubias species reaching up to 30 cm in height.
Anubias gracillis may not be a species on its own and is sometimes called a variety of Anubias congensis.
Unfortunately all the Anubias species are all very similar and a new study on their identification would help growers a lot with their correct identification.

 Dwarf Anubias - Anubias nana
The Dwarf Anubias is definitely a cast-iron plant.
Like all Anubias species, they are grown from a rhizome and they should be tied to rocks or driftwood.
If you have a big Anubias plant and want to spread its glory (how cheesy!) throughout other parts of the tank (or other tanks) cut it at the rhizome.

Anubias barteri (family Araceae) is a much more robust plant than the nana variety and its round or heart shaped leaves can add a lot to the aquarium.
Anubias congensis is also an African species and one of the larger growing species that can reach up to 25cm in height.
Anubias nana (family Araceae) is the smallest of the Anubias species and one of the most sort after aquarium plants.

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.
If problems with epiphytes occur you may then try to cut off the CO 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.
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.

Water Ferns are perhaps the easiest of any aquatic plants to keep because they require minimum lighting standards, absorb most of their nutrients from the water, and can grow without adding supplemental CO I have found them to be able to tolerate a wide range of water conditions and temperatures.
Anubias is a slow growing broad leaved plant with thick leathery green leaves from a rhizome.
Anubias roots will attach to nearby rocks or wood, but I prefer to plant it into the substrate to draw nutrients.

These anubias are priced unprecedently low in order to sell fast.
Being probably some of the most hardy plants available in the hobby, Anubias species will adapt to virtually any aquarium condition - low or high lights, soft or hard water, etc. Also, being of a very bad taste, these plants are being avoided even by such a plant-loving fish as cichlids.
Anubias congensis and anubias frazeri are our regular plants: 6-7 inches tall, 3-6 leaves.

In the wild, Anubias grow on the edges of streams and rivers, often with their roots firmly anchored around rocks, boulders and fallen logs.
Not all species of Anubias are currently available in the hobby, and, for that matter, not all are suitable as aquarium plants because some get much too large for the average tank.
While it grows in typical Anubias fashion, with the roots branching down from the rhizome, the whole plant is small enough that this feature is not as noticeable as it is on larger varieties.

Anubias is a slow growing broad leafed plant with thick leathery green leaves from a rhizome.
Red clay, or clay enriched subsoil can be used in small amounts, (about a one inch layer in the middle of the substrate.) Anubias roots will attach to nearby rocks or wood, but I prefer to plant it into the substrate to draw nutrients.

Upon purchasing several different species of Anubias, I was not able to find an identification which clearly showed their existence.
After my own study of publications we use for identification and comparing them to this journal, I am convinced that it is excellent for identification and generally replaces all other descriptions and accounts of the genus.
Anubias is found in western tropical Africa, along strembeds in warm shady areas.

Anubias are amphibious plants too, some species feel perfectly fine underneath the water level and even bloom there, and some may only survive occasional flooding.
One may ask “why flower?  Not leaves, not general habitus?” Well, few anubias species produce different forms making their identification difficult.
Anubias plants by themselves can decorate almost any aquarium, including the “extreme” ones.

 Plant Disease Note 2003 | First Report of a Blight Caused by Rhizoctonia solani on Anubias heterophylla in Italy
Anubias heterophylla Engler, which is used in aquariums, is a species in the Araceae family native to western tropical Africa.
During the spring of 2002, symptoms of blight were observed on Anubias plants grown in an ebb and flow soilless media system in a nursery in Sardinia, Italy.
Since there are only a few nurseries that grow Anubias, the economic impact of the disease in Italy is minimal.
