Very nice. I see there are some large/mature A. Barteri in there. I love when Anubias grow big green leafs on mature plants. Have any of them flowered for you yet? It's awesome when they do.

Haven't had them flower yet. They've actually been growing smaller leave for me. I bought them when they were large. I have a small A. Barteri in a dirted tank and it hasn't grown large, just more leaves. I follow Oliver Knott on Instagram and he just posted a large A. Barteri that he said he grew in 1 year and 7 months from a small piece. I'd like to figure how he did that.

I'd like to learn too. I get more leafs on mine but are small. I do occasionally have had a flower - one at a time.

Nice tank, i remember once seeing a stirctly anubias tank online where the whole tank was filled with the stuff...

The owner even used anubias petite as a carpet on the base, while using mid size anubias for mid-ground fillers and larger ones in the the back with driftwood and rocks...

Always wanted to try doing something like that but my anubias tend to get a lot of algae growth...

How many species....Nice, I am an anubia fan. Especially mature established specimens. Just wish they had faster growth.

Fantastic display, count me in as an anubias fan too; I used to have a lot of it similar to you, but recent specimens have been wasting away etc :(

I have just 3 varieties in here. Just A. Bateri, A. Nana, and A. Nana "Gold"

Are they rotting at the rhizome? I had an outbreak of Anubias Rot on my A. Petites. I lost 4 plants and the others just didn't grow back as nice. If your rhizome turns brown, loosing leaves, and the rhizome is turning to mush, cut it off or it'll affect the whole tank.
