Anubias barteri var. angustifolia from West Africa is a beautiful plant with long, narrow leaves. 10-20 cm tall, with the rhizome forming 10-15 cm or larger. Anubias barteri var. angustifolia used to be sold as Anubias afzelii, but the latter is actually a much larger species. It is grown in the same conditions as Anubias barteri var. nana. It is not eaten by herbivorous fish.

For a long time there has a myth been going around that anubias (when pruned or cut) would be poisonous to shrimp and other inverts. This is NOT true and anubias are perfect plants for your shrimp tank and 100% safe.

John T. ★★★★★

The leaves are even narrower and more elegant than I expected from the photos, and the rhizome arrived with several healthy roots already. It settled into my tank without any melting, and the dark green color really pops against the other plants.

Madison L. ★★★★★

Planted it in my low-tech tank three weeks ago and the rhizome has already started creeping along the driftwood nicely. The long, narrow leaves give a really elegant grassy look that breaks up the bushy plants behind it.

Harper ★★★★★

Those long narrow leaves really stand out in my tank, and the rhizome is already a solid 10 cm with new growth at the tips. It's been about two weeks and no melt or yellowing, which I've had trouble with other Anubias before.
