Description
Anubias heterophylla is a tall, elegant Anubias from West Africa producing long, elongated deep green leaves that can reach up to 30cm in length. It sits usefully in height between the compact nana varieties and the very tall hastifolia, making it a striking midground to background option in medium and large aquariums.
It shares the same undemanding care profile as all Anubias: no CO2, tolerant of low light, and attached to wood or rock rather than buried in substrate. Growth is slow but reliable, and fish leave the tough leaves completely alone — even herbivorous species.
Remove from the pot and attach the rhizome to hardscape using thread or aquarium-safe superglue. Do not bury the rhizome.

I am generally dubious when buying plants online, but these were gorgeous. I have no hesitation in recommending aqua essentials for plants.

Beautiful plant for my aquarium

Well established plant with fantastic root system. Early days, but it is wedged onto some Spiderwood and appears to be doing well.

Arrived on time and a good size. It’s thriving in our aquarium.

A lot bigger than I was expecting, really healthy looking out of the box and it's already produced 2 new leaves in a matter of 2-3 weeks. I glued it to a piece of bogwood and it looks great in the corner of my tank hiding the filter uptake pipe. Well worth the money.
G
Got two of these,they were perfect...nice size and delivered quickly.
D
We ordered this plant because it was said to resistant to the eating habits of Silver Dollars. It arrived well packaged and in good condition and looks very well in the tank. So far the fish have not chosen to eat it, but it is only two weeks
J
I had a couple of these both in first class condition of good size excellent shape, great root growth, now looking superb in my tank. I found these listed under Non- Edible Plants which so far has proved correct as they have resisted the advances of my Six Clown Loach two of which are over 6 inches and a multitude of other plant attacking fish.
E
Good healthy large bushy plants that were well packaged.
K
The plant I received came really nice and rather big. I have small tank so the Anubias takes some space but looks absolutely stunning, big leaves and a very strong plant. I have it attached to the driftwood. I am very happy with it.
P
Plant was in good clean condition with good root structure, good size.

J
we keep going back to order more of these plants as for one they look beautiful in my five tanks set ups, for two they are the most healthy plants i have ever ordered, and three they come quickly and in pristine condition.
This is the only place i would ever consider ordering my plants from.

How big does Anubias heterophylla get?
Leaves can reach up to 30cm in length, making it one of the taller Anubias species. Good for midground to background placement in medium and large aquariums.
Does it need CO2?
No — it is as undemanding as all Anubias. No CO2 needed, tolerant of low light and a wide range of water conditions.
How do I plant it?
Attach the rhizome to wood or rock using thread or aquarium-safe superglue. Do not bury the rhizome — this causes rot.
Is it safe for cichlids and herbivorous fish?
Yes — the tough Anubias leaves are left alone by virtually all fish, including herbivorous species.
Will fish use it for shelter?
Yes — the long, broad leaves create natural cover that fish, especially shy species and fry, are instinctively drawn to.
