Anubias barteri var. nana 'Round leaf'

Anubias barteri Round Leaf is a variant of Anubias that features rounded heart-shaped leaves. Commonly known as Anubias Golden Coin and Anubias Coin Leaf, this aquatic plant is similar in size and care to that of Anubias Barteri Nana.  Compared to other Anubias, it is also very hardy and easy to keep making it ideal for all hobbyist levels. Anubias Round Leaf can adapt to almost any planted aquarium tank and will survive in a range of environments. If given optimal conditions, this aquatic plant thrives and makes a great addition to any planted aquarium tank. Also like other species of Anubias, Anubias Round Leaf is a slow grower, but patience is rewarded. As an epiphyte, this aquatic plant does best when attached to a hard surface such as aquarium driftwood or rocks. It can also be wedged into cracks available within the hardscape layout. Another added benefit of this plant is that herbivorous fish such as goldfish species rarely munch on it!

It’s a flowering plant that grows best when the rhizome is attached to hardscape material such as wood or stone. Regular fertilization is favorable and low to medium lighting is sufficient as high lighting will promote the growth of algae on its leaves. CO2 is not required but promotes faster growth and robust leaves.

In recent years, plants from tissue culture (so-called Invitro plants) have become more and more popular. These aquatic plants are cultivated under laboratory conditions, and they are sold directly in their culture cups, small plastic containers that prevent parasite and disease.
