Anubias

[andy1985]

Hi i was wondering what are the larger Anubias, also i have some 3d background made of polystyrene and was wondering what wire is safe to use to hook some anubias into the side of it?

Many anubias plants will grow to a large size (afzelii, barteri, congenesis, hostifolia, lanceolata, gigantea,etc.. Anubias grows larger if it is emersed rather than submersed. One of the best ways to attach anubias to objects is with fishing line (lasts forever in tanks).

What do you mean by emersed rather than submersed?

Emersed = just the roots under water..,

Submersed = whole plant underwater...

I need to push the wire into the 3d background instead of wrapping round it would fishing wire still be ok?

why not super glue it

 

[andy1985]

I can't super glue because the tank is already set up just wanted to add some more plants

Superglue it during a water change. I've use loctite brand gel superglue with no problems. Dries quick.

I also want to attach them near the bottom of the tank to the back ground as well

you can use the gel super glue under water as well.
