About the Anubias Lanceolata

Plant Name: Anubias Lanceolata (Anubias barteri var. angustifolia / commonly sold as Anubias lanceolata)

Care Level: Easy

Recommended Substrate: No substrate required; best attached to rocks, driftwood, or aquarium decorations

Recommended Lighting: Low to moderate lighting

Recommended Temperature: 72-82°F (22-28°C)

Max Plant Size: Up to 8-16 inches (20-40 cm) in height

Foreground, Midground, or Background?: Midground to Background

Need CO2?: Not required

Fun Fact: Anubias Lanceolata gets its name from its long, lance-shaped leaves. Compared with broad-leaved Anubias varieties, its narrow foliage creates a more elegant, upright appearance while retaining the durability and low-light tolerance Anubias are famous for.

Appearance: This plant develops elongated, narrow, dark green leaves with pointed tips. The leathery leaves grow from a thick creeping rhizome and typically have a more upright growth habit than standard Anubias Barteri.

Aquarium Use: Excellent for attaching to driftwood, rocks, and other hardscape in the midground or background. Its narrow leaves provide a useful contrast against rounder and broader-leaved aquarium plants.

Propagation: Propagated by dividing the rhizome. Each divided section should have several healthy leaves and roots before being attached to a new location.

Note: Never completely bury the rhizome beneath the substrate, as this can cause rot. The roots can extend into the substrate, but the thick horizontal rhizome should remain exposed.

Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
