i knew the price was too high, i went to petsmart and bout 2 Anubias plants but they are not the Nana type. i found some on Ebay for really cheap. 6 rhizomes for $14, i thought that was a good deal. im going to try and find a local aquatic landscaping business or something similar to find a better deal. what do you think about the vallisneria Plant? will the fish or snails eat these?Pittbull;3404587; said:

Val's are right on the menu with fish and snails they love the tender leaf plant specimens so i really wouldn't go with those as a focal point you can add a few in there but understand they will more than likely be mowed down..
Yeah use caution on buying rhizomes they usually do not have leaves on them and will take a year to grow under normal lighting conditions without CO2 supplementation..
I know http://www.bayleesfishees.com/ usually has nice Anubias species but the owner is currently having issues so i dont think his store is re-open but if you check back with him or contact him he has some killer deals on anubias and has a wide variety selection available.. Anubias Barteri, Anubias Hostefolia and coffeefolia are a few of what i have and do great in my Tang setups..
Take care..

Brichardi, very cool fish, mid level swimmer. when they mature they have really nice long fins. price is about $10. hard to distinguish between male and femalesmr.yun;3417064; said:

Post some pics. of the Anubias when you get them. I have paid $12 for them, actually most of them have been around 10 bucks. Don't plant them directly in the substrate. They get nutrients from the water column and can anchor themselves to rock. You should be able to just jam them into holes in the rock.

here you go... i have 2 different species of Anubias in the tank. i cant remeber the names, i have the info at home (working now) but i do love the plants. it gives the tank a true realism to the tank that was unreachable with any other decor. and to think i disliked real plants. i got all 6 for about $25. it was a good deal-Fish Gallery Houston TX-Muske;3421464; said:
