Tie it to wood or rocks - this is the only way to successfully grow Anubias.

Use decent fertilisers such as Neutro T and add a liquid carbon supplement called Neutro CO2 for best effect. This adds liquid carbon into the water which helps plants grow and also fights algae (which some anubias are prone to because they're slow growers).\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAnubias golden nana is suitable for anyone in this hobby, especially beginners because it's very easy to grow.
