Tropica Anubias barteri var. 'Coffeifolia'

Anubias barteri var. coffeifolia is a very beautiful, low cultivar of Anubias barteri. 15-25 cm tall and a creeping rhizome from 10-15 cm or more.

It is characteristic that the leaves arch considerably between the leaf ribs, and the new leaves are red-brown. The colour combination and leaf shape make it an attractive variety in both large and small aquariums. It flowers frequently under water but does not produce seeds there.

Anubias species seem to grow so slowly that they do not realize that they have been submerged. It is not eaten by herbivorous fish.
