Anubias barteri is a low-maintenance aquatic plant with thick, dark green leaves that make it highly durable in aquariums. It grows best when attached to rocks or driftwood, as burying its rhizome can cause rot. This plant thrives in low to moderate light, does not require CO₂, and is tolerant of a wide range of water conditions (22–28°C). Its slow growth and hardy nature make it perfect for beginners and planted tank setups.
