Anubias barteri ''coffeefolia''


Anubias barteri "coffeefolia'' is a very beautiful, low variety of Anubias barteri. It is characteristic that the leaves arch considerably between the leaf ribs, and the new leaves are red-brown. The colour combination and leaf shape make it an attractive variety in both large and small aquariums. It flowers frequently under water but does not produce seeds there. Anubias-species seem to grow so slowly that they do not realise that they have been submerged. It is not eaten by herbivorous fish.

Origin:   Cultivar
Height:   15 cm - 25 cm
