Anubias Barteri Butterfly

$30.00

✅These are already in their 💯% aquatic forms - will NOT melt when added to your tank

Anubias barteri 'Butterfly' is a striking variant of the Anubias barteri species, known for its variegated leaves with splashes of creamy white or light green against a deep green background. Hardy and easy to care for, it thrives in low to moderate lighting and various water conditions. With its slow growth rate, it's perfect for aquascaping, adding texture and contrast as a midground or background plant. Beyond its beauty, it provides shelter for fish, invertebrates, and helps maintain water quality.

Anubias barteri 'Butterfly' is a stunning addition to any freshwater aquarium, offering both visual appeal and functionality. Anubias barteri 'Butterfly', like other Anubias species, is an epiphyte. Epiphytic plants are those that grow attached to surfaces such as rocks, driftwood, or other substrate materials, rather than rooting in the substrate like typical aquatic plants. Anubias barteri 'Butterfly' attaches itself to hardscape elements using its roots or rhizome and absorbs nutrients through its leaves and roots from the water column.

This characteristic makes it well-suited for use in aquariums and aquascaping, as it can be easily attached to hardscape features without needing to be planted in the substrate.

Ease level: beginner

Size: 5-15 inches in height

Likes: low to moderate lighting

Does not require CO2 injection

Placement: midground and background, sometimes foreground accent

PH: 6.0-7.5

Quantity: one plant
