Anubias Gigantea ~ Potted

Make a bold statement in your aquarium with Anubias gigantea, one of the largest and most impressive Anubias species available. With its broad, deep green leaves and slow, steady growth, this hardy plant adds a touch of jungle-like beauty to freshwater tanks. Its thick leaves and tough rhizome make it an ideal choice for aquariums with rougher fish, like cichlids, as it’s durable enough to withstand their curious nibbles and activity.

Anubias gigantea thrives when attached to rocks or driftwood and requires minimal maintenance, making it perfect for both beginner and advanced aquarists. This is also an excellent feature to consider when you have aquatic inhabitants who love to dig!
