Regular Member LisaCGold Posted May 15, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted May 15, 2014 What type of anubias is this? I got this plant at Petco. Also, see the "bruise" at the base of the stem? Should I remove that leaf or do you think it will be okay? Thank you! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Chai Posted May 16, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) That's a Frazeri and one of my favourites! I would definitely remove that stem as it may develop into a brown deadly fungus that likes to eat anubias. (By eat I mean annihilate.. ) Once it's removed, it should be okay to go. Keep the rhizome clean and you'll have happy anubias! Edited May 16, 2014 by Chai 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member yafashelli Posted May 16, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted May 16, 2014 I definitely agree that you should remove any damaged parts of the plant. Anubias are pretty hardy, so even if most of it is damaged, it'll probably come back strong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member adnan Posted May 16, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) That is lovely anubias, I have 2 of them. In my tank (my observations) comper to anubias nana, that type needs more light and grow twice slower.

Regular Member LisaCGold Posted May 16, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 16, 2014 Thank you everyone. I've removed the bruised part, glued it to a rock, and put it in my tank. The light in my tank is on the low side of the medium light range, so hopefully that will make this anubias happy. All is well! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are definitely the slowest in my tank, but I'm excited about the new leaves even more when they pop up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
