Tolerates a wide range of lighting conditions, from partial shade to full sun
Summarized by Shop
The tough one. Anubias barteri grows broad leaves on a thick, sturdy rhizome — noticeably heavier-built than Anubias Nana, and correspondingly harder for fish to shred. If a tank has goldfish, plecos or cichlids in it, this is the Anubias to use.

Plants are so perfect they almost appear to be fake.
This is the second time I have purchased plants from Aquarium Plants Factory. I ordered dozens of plants this time, and every single plant arrived in perfect condition! So perfect in fact that they almost appeared to be fake. This is especially true of the 3 or 4 different anubias species that arrived. They are just gorgeous!
Even a fellow (multiple aquarium) fish lover thought they were artificial in my aquarium.
