Can't quite believe how well these are doing! They are growing strongly, responding to daily fertiliser and CO2, and lots of love from my fishes! They use the spaces between the leaves as a lovely den. Never seen them do this before! I will definitely keep buying this plant!

Has been given full marks by my fishes! They absolutely adore hiding in its leaves at nights! I don't know if they give off something alluring, or whether it just feels nice to them, but they have made a den there! And yes, to mere mortals, it does look lovely too!

Beautiful plant's, Both with solid colour throughout, strong and sturdy and of a good size ( I know you read the blurb but to see it! ) and looked even better than the picture. Best and most awesome packing I have yet seen on a plant shipment, so good I have kept it to use myself.

Removed a star because the plant looks a bit different to the one pictured. The leaves are much narrower, more spear-head shaped, but otherwise it's great. Super healthy, no trace of pest snails and 2 weeks later seems to be thriving in the aquarium with no melting.

This is a lovely miniature version of the Anubias I bought before. They're doing well, and look great. Another good buy!

Of all the plants I have tried from you, I think this is the one that really stands out. They are really flourishing and look so healthy. The fishes love to swim in and out of their leaves, and have even taken to hiding among them when they want some quiet time. I think that says it all! Five stars from the fishes!
