Anubias Barteri 'Coin Leaf' – Compact Aquarium Plant with Round Leaves, Perfect for Small Tanks and Cichlids
Anubias Barteri 'Coin Leaf' is a cultivated variety derived from the West African Anubias barteri species. Known for its small, nearly circular leaves, this slow-growing plant is a favorite among aquarists looking for a low-maintenance yet highly decorative species. Its compact form makes it ideal for nano tanks or aquariums with cichlids and other herbivorous fish.
Reaching up to 20 cm in height, it grows slowly and remains manageable even in tight aquascapes. Its tough, leathery leaves are unpalatable to most fish, ensuring it remains intact in tanks with aggressive species. It thrives when attached to rocks or driftwood and should not have its rhizome buried to prevent rot.
