Our Anubias Barteri is a great beginner plant for blackwater betta aquariums. Anubias Barteri grows by creeping a rhizome along the substrate or driftwood pieces in the aquarium, producing vertical leaves of increasing size. It is similar to Anubias Nana, but it has bigger leaves. When planting Anubias Barteri, do not bury the rhizome in your substrate; the roots can be buried, but the rhizome needs proper water flow. They can tolerate high levels of tannins, but like all plants, they require full-spectrum light for photosynthesis.
