Anubias barteri var. Barteri - Ringed

Anubias barteri var. barteri is one of the most robust and versatile aquarium plants in the hobby, featuring broad, deep-green, leathery leaves that are virtually indestructible in the right conditions. This listing is for the ringed form — the plant's rhizome is secured with a rubber ring, making it easy to attach to driftwood, lava rock, or any hardscape. It is a staple live aquatic plant at our Ottawa aquarium store and a perennial top pick among planted tank hobbyists across Canada. This Anubias variety thrives in low to moderate light with no CO2 injection required, and it is notably resistant to plant-nipping fish such as goldfish, cichlids, and large herbivores that would destroy more delicate plants. Its thick leaves also resist algae buildup when kept in appropriate lighting. Ideal for beginner and experienced planted tank keepers in Ottawa who want a long-lived, low-effort plant that adds structure and density to any aquascape.
