Ok, what is this? Is this a true aquatic plant? Does this plant do a good job absorbing nitrates? I was told this plant does not need co2 and minimal lighting is needed.

Is the plant rooted to the substrate? If so, remove it and attach it with a string on a rock or wood.
ive had the anubias nana for a while and even divided them into 5 pieces from the orginal 1 plant that i bought. they grow great on rocks or wood because you can see the root growth everyday. then i got the barteri (the one u have) and that thing just floats around now after my bushynose knocked it out of the gap in the wood i had it placed in. those plants grow good under many conditions. definitely worth picking up more of.
What is the purpose of doing this? I thought all plants are better planted into the ground. I'll give it a week to see how it does before I pick up another one.Lupin;2366444; said:
Because some plants have rhizomes that if buried, they will simply rot and die. The same thing can happen to Java ferns. Not all plants are rooted. Look at hornworts for instance. These are best left floating. No matter how you want to plant it to the ground, it will never grow roots and the bottom part will keep rotting so you'll have to constantly replant it as the bottom part keeps rotting.FishGoneWild;2369345; said:
