JoeQ Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Heres my brother's Coffeefolia which took Roots place. To give you an idea of size that clown loach is only a year or two old. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that such a beautiful plant can be so low maintenance, easy to care for and flowers occasionally truly deserves praise. Post your pics and praise for Anubias! Hi @Its Hutch Totally agree, one of the most tolerate plants of even marginal conditions. One of my favorites I've had over 10 years is Anubias barteri nana 'Micro' that I picked up on one of the planted forums. I only saw it offered once or twice and I picked it up and have been growing it ever since. See the dime in the photo below? The Corydoras is one not often seen, C. atropersonatus. BTW, the substrate is Safe-t-sorb unrinsed. -Roy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might survive if I release them at night, but I’m thinking I’ll wait until the plants have grown more. Might go with green Neocaridinas so they’re unobtrusive and not worry too much about the angels eating the small ones if enough can survive. A heavy moss growth and a shrimp cave/ some cholla (yes, we saw cholla naturally washed into rivers while there after monsoon rains), and adding to the tank after a heavy feeding and they have full bellies (or feed on one end, and use a tube or your hands to get the amanos down to safe hiding on the other end) and the angels will *usually* leave them alone. Usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here is it previously in my old 10 gallon setup. It's 4 or 5 different plants, which have not done equally well. I think I want to take some and move it to the large rock thing on the left side of the tank, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Or you can just buy more! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually. I have some ceramic maple leaf caves that I thought the plecos and cories might like, but they’re a bit too flat, I think. The baby plecos might use them. I have those “leaves” under the wood at the left end and it’s where I want the amanos to set to work. There’s a bit of algae on the wood that I don’t want to overtake the Fissidens moss I’m trying to grow there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anjum Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I love Anubias! I want to collect all the varieties. Currently, I only have one, which I think is regular Nana. It came with a used tank I bought, just sitting in a half-full aquarium with no light or heat for who knows how long. It's at least doubled in size in the last year, though it's got a lot of algae. I'm might propagate it & spread it out into other tanks, see if it does better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
