I know, I know, a thread in the picture gallery about boring plants....Well, I had to tear down all my tanks in the past couple weeks and I got a few pics in the process. The biggest surprise was the size that my Anubias barteri has grown to. This one plant is over 18" across and about 13" tall (leaf to rhizome). It takes up almost half of a 75 gallon tank. The main group of roots hanging off the rhizome is about 20". I have 4 of these and they all started out as 3 leaf, 6" across babies. They have done well.

Impressive growth, especially for Anubias.

I forgot to mention that I purchased these about 2.5 years ago... So by all means, it wasn't fast growth.
