Anubias barteri var. Broad Leaf - Ringed

Anubias barteri var. Broad Leaf is a larger-leafed variety of the classic Anubias barteri, valued for its wide, deep-green foliage that adds bold structure and dramatic visual weight to planted aquariums and aquascapes. This listing is for the ringed form — the rhizome is secured with a rubber ring for easy placement on driftwood, rocks, or other hardscape surfaces. It is a favourite live aquatic plant among hobbyists who visit our Ottawa fish store and order plants across Canada. Like all Anubias, this variety is exceptionally hardy, tolerating low light, a wide range of water parameters, and the attention of plant-nipping fish with ease. Its slow growth rate means less trimming and maintenance compared to fast-growing stem plants, and its broad leaves become beautiful surfaces for fish and shrimp to rest on and explore. The ideal plant for anyone in Ottawa or Canada seeking a bold, low-maintenance aquarium plant with lasting visual impact.
