Its unusual leaf shape provides a sharper, more textured appearance than the broad, rounded foliage commonly associated with Anubias barteri.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAppearance: This variety develops sturdy, dark green leaves with noticeably pointed tips and a compact growth habit. Its thick, leathery foliage remains attractive for long periods due to the plant's naturally slow growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAquarium Use: Excellent for attaching to driftwood, rocks, and other hardscape in the foreground or midground. Its compact size makes it especially useful for adding detail around stones, wood, caves, and shaded areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePropagation: Propagated by rhizome division. Once the rhizome has developed several healthy leaves and roots, it can be carefully divided into sections and attached to new areas of the aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: Never completely bury the thick horizontal rhizome beneath the substrate, as this can cause it to rot. Because this Anubias grows slowly, keeping its leaves clean and providing gentle water circulation can also help prevent algae from establishing on the foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mastah Betta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54005576237356,"sku":null,"price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/8947\/4092\/files\/ChatGPTImageSep1_2026_10_56_00PM.png?v=1788339388","url":"https:\/\/mastahbetta.com\/products\/anubias-barteri-short-and-sharp","provider":"Mastah Betta","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
