Anubias gracilis POT
Anubias gracilis is a distinctive and resilient freshwater aquarium plant, known for its triangular, deep green leaves and strong adaptability. Unlike other Anubias species, this variety has an elegant, more upright growth pattern, making it a great midground or background addition to aquariums. Its durable leaves and slow growth rate make it ideal for low-maintenance setups and aquascaping designs.
Thriving in low to moderate lighting, Anubias gracilis can be attached to rocks, driftwood, or decorations for a natural look. It does not require substrate planting, reducing maintenance and preventing decay. Its strong rhizome structure ensures long-term health, while its resistance to herbivorous fish makes it a great choice for cichlid tanks and planted aquariums alike.
Key Features:
- Size: Medium to large, with triangular, deep green leaves (up to 30 cm height)
- Light Requirements: Low to moderate – adaptable to various conditions
- Growth Rate: Slow-growing, requiring minimal maintenance
