Anubias Gracilis

Anubias Gracilis – A Rare and Elegant Aquarium Plant

Anubias Gracilis is an elegant, large-leaved aquarium plant from the Araceae family. This Anubias aquatic plant is native to West Africa, where it thrives in slow-moving rivers and shaded wetlands. It is well-loved in the aquascaping world for its triangular, dark green leaves that can reach up to 6 inches (15 cm) long. Mature plants typically grow to about 12 inches (30 cm) tall, making them a striking choice for midground or background placement in aquariums. As a versatile Anubias plant for aquarium setups, Anubias Gracilis can be attached to driftwood, rocks, or planted in substrate with its rhizome above the surface to prevent rot. Its unique leaf shape and sturdy structure make it a beautiful addition to community tanks and planted aquariums.
