Description
Anubias gracilis is an unusual and elegant Anubias with distinctive triangular, arrow-shaped leaves on tall, slender petioles, giving it a lighter, airier look than the familiar broad-leaved varieties. As a hardy epiphyte, Anubias gracilis is attached to driftwood or rock rather than planted in substrate, and makes a graceful midground feature in a planted aquascape.
Anubias gracilis shares the famous toughness of the genus: it thrives in low light, needs no CO₂, and grows slowly from a tough rhizome. Attach Anubias gracilis to hardscape by tying or gluing the rhizome in place, keeping the rhizome itself above the substrate so it does not rot, and it will slowly send out new arrow-shaped leaves.
Because it is nearly indestructible, Anubias gracilis is perfect for beginners and for low-tech, community, shrimp and betta tanks alike. Its firm leaves resist nibbling and algae wipes clean easily, so add Anubias gracilis for an easy, distinctive epiphyte.
