DannyBWell Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I think anubais is my favorite plant I've kept so far I have nana, coffeefolia, barteri, nangi, and currently waiting on golden and nana petite to arrive this week. The plant is just so easy to keep and it's exciting to see a new leaf starting or to see it flower. If I had to choose I think so far my favorite would be barteri. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laritheloud Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I love my coffeefolia only because it seems to love my tank. It's one of my best-looking anubias I have, but Barteri or Nana Petite are not far behind. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biotope Biologist Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I have to go with the tried and true nana here. Had a beautiful 3 foot long one in my tank until a certain goldfish who shalt not be named ATE IT DOWN TO THE RHIZOME It managed to come back, but you could imagine my disdain when I got back home from school. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's another thing I like about them is they seem like very hardy plants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlgaeIsYum Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I don't have any myself but I'd love to get some Anubias pangolino sometime. The tiny size just makes it adorable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameCzar Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I'd have to say Nana Petite, its just so versatile to scape with. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd Duck Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 A. nana ‘Petite Golden’ is my current favorite but I fairly recently got some A. hastifolia and it’s terrific! I really like the leaf shape - it’s the only Anubias I’ve seen that has a significantly different leaf shape with its arrowhead, almost lobed shape (as compared to narrow vs rounded). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just reading about hastafolia I'm trying to figure out exactly how many anubias varients there are seems like there are a bunch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmedByFish Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Nana petite is my favorite of all my plants. It's so cute! However, my 2 anubias are the only plants I have that have developed something like gray dust on them, which I can't even rub off. Don't know why. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anewbie Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Some of the ones I like that have not been mentioned: pinto (either nana or otherwise) hastifolia afzelii barteri var. glabra parva (looks similar to crypt parva but is an anubia) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeg Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I like coffeefolia the most because of the wrinkles and deep green, but I also enjoy congensis when I can get it to grow straight rather than twisted leaves everywhere, plus the leaves are just massive when grown right. One of mine just started to put out almost 3 inch leaves! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krominel Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Gold coin has done well for me. I got it to flower. 🙂 I loved my barteri, but it got too much salt and melted back. It's rebounding, but not what it once was. Hopefully in time it will become big and beautiful again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johannes Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 My favorite is also pinto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 The anubias pinto is one of my favorites! There is a hobbyist in my area that is tissue culturing their own plants and then later selling them on his website. One of the plants he is playing around with is the anubais pinto. I'm excited because once he starts selling them, perhaps he will be able to get the price down. But my favorite anubias that I own is the anubias golden coin. I currently have mine floating in my betta tank. I was going to plant it, but my betta named hugo seems to really like resting on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungle Fan Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I have three varieties I prefer: Anubias nana petite Anubias nana Anubias afzelli which is usually also the succession in which I use them to decorate driftwood roots starting with the smallest to the largest closest to the stem which I generally surround with Java fern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlgaeIsYum Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 There are so many Anubias varieties with such a wide range of forms out there these days, a lot of them still very new and rare. I just recently learnt about Anubias 'jalapeño' and Anubias 'stardust', both look beautiful. Also some hybrid species varieties popping up as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
