Anubias Heterophylla
Anubias heterophylla is one of the taller Anubias, sending up long, glossy, lance-shaped leaves on sturdy petioles that give it real vertical presence. Like every Anubias it's practically bulletproof: attach the rhizome to wood or rock rather than burying it, and it thrives in low light with no CO2. Its size makes it a handsome midground-to-background specimen for larger tanks.
Care level: Easy · Placement: Midground/Background (Epiphyte) · Lighting: Low-Medium · CO2: Not required · Growth rate: Slow · Propagation: rhizome division
