jmetzger72 6,976 Posted December 21, 2014 I have seen some questions about different types of Anubias, using wood, etc. lately. So, I decided to post a few pics of mine after a monthly trimming : These are all varieties of Anubias glued to Mopani wood or rocks. The wood is a good way to give Anubias some height and create levels. This is still a work in progress as Anubias grow rather slowly 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LisaCGold 1,691 Posted December 21, 2014 It looks wonderful! Do the roots on your anubias get real long? If so, do you regularly trim them? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anna-Katharina Parsons 495 Posted December 22, 2014 I would imagine that cutting tg e roots spurs on new growth? I've not really cut mine so far. Maybe I should 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flipper 13,057 Posted December 22, 2014 Sorry Jared but here is my crazy anubias that's been tied onto this rock with fishing line. Then there is the issue of the roots! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flipper 13,057 Posted December 22, 2014 Looks wonderful Jared. Is that your new Oranda? S/he looks huge, and is gorgeous. Love him/her. That's his crazy fish that's changing colors, like Quinn. I believe her name is Miranda She's a stunner 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmetzger72 6,976 Posted December 22, 2014 I don't know if trimming the roots spurs new growth. I just don't like the way they look when they get too crazy. I've had the Oranda for about 3 years, now. Originally, I named it Giniro (Japanese for Silver) but changed it to Miranda when it changed color to blue and then back to Giniro when it went back to Silver. I also can't figure out the sex of this fish, thus the use of "it" 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine do and run all helter skeltor I kinda like how it looks wild with roots I imagine some people trim their anubias roots, but I don't I don't either! I like the way it looks with the roots hanging down below the piece of wood it's tied to. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

motherredcap 6,284 Posted December 22, 2014 Jared, I am so sorry about your underfed, boring coloured fish. It must be so disappointing to see 'it' pine away like that. I'm sure that plenty of people here at Kokos would take the sad little thing off your hands. :rofl 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
