Anubias barteri 'Round' (Golden Coin Anubias)

Introduction:

Anubias barteri 'Round', commonly known as Golden Coin Anubias, is a unique and visually striking aquatic plant characterized by its round, coin-shaped leaves. This variety of Anubias barteri is prized for its compact growth and vibrant green foliage, making it an excellent choice for midground or foreground placements in aquascapes. Native to West Africa, this hardy plant is adaptable to a wide range of water conditions, thriving both submerged and emersed in aquariums, terrariums, and paludariums.

Care Requirements:

• Water Parameters: Prefers a temperature range of 22–28°C, a pH between 6.0–7.5, and soft to moderately hard water (3–12 dGH).
• Nutrient Requirements: Primarily absorbs nutrients through the water column, benefiting from liquid fertilizers rich in iron and trace elements. CO₂ supplementation is optional but can encourage faster growth.
• Tank Setup: Best suited for attachment to driftwood, rocks, or other hardscapes, as burying its rhizome in the substrate may cause rot. Grows well under low to moderate lighting, making it a great option for shaded aquariums or low-tech tanks.

Care Tips:

To maintain the plant’s health, avoid excessive light exposure to prevent algae buildup on its broad leaves. Gentle cleaning and occasional pruning of older leaves will help keep the plant looking lush and vibrant. Secure it to hard surfaces using thread or aquarium-safe glue for optimal growth.

With its distinctive round leaves, slow growth, and resilience, Anubias barteri 'Round' (Golden Coin Anubias) is a fantastic addition to any aquascape. Its ability to thrive in various conditions with minimal maintenance makes it a perfect choice for both beginners and experienced hobbyists alike.
