Anubias Questions....
Hello,
I have a low tech 10 gallon with kitty litter/sand, no co2 and a 15w light fixture. The tank has crypt wendtii and java moss. I want to add either anubias nana or anubias coffeefolia. I have a few questions... Since anubias are slow growers are they a target for bb algae? Or is that only an issue with intense lighting and co2 tanks? How large do the leaves get on the anubias nana? I saw anaubia nana "pettite" available, however; the cost was ~$8.00 for a portion the size of a quarter, could some1 recommend a cheap source of the "pettite" nana? Thanks N8 |

Anubias Questions....
Be careful with Anubias nana "petit" as it is not a stable cultivar. Under
good growing conditions, it will revert back to "norma" nan leaf size--this has been written up in the literature and seen by severl of my customers.

Thanks N8 I have anubias in all my community tanks. I did have some algae problems, but cut the hours of light with a timer and new foliage is clear. I have one large anubia in the corner of a 10 gallon tank. It has several large leaves left over (pre light control) that have heavy black algae stuff. I haven't decided if I want to ruin the symmetry enough to cut the leaves or not. The leaves at the top of this anubia are close to the top of the tank. It has the large roots that come down from the stalk. I am going to have to perform surgery eventually, but it is so nicely formed I keep putting it off. |
