[@wiseman1688]

I am not a plant person, this is an easy plant to put in the aquarium. Very little maintenance is required, don't have to worry much. I like all kinds of Anubis, always green, and keep my snail and pleco busy.

Hello Richelle, thanks for all your advices and especially the time that you put in it. I would like to know if it's possible to have anubias in the Tropheus tank. Thank you.

[@DanProtzek]

heterophylla (sp?) I like the long limbs and the nana would look great as a short bushy plant among the rocks. Great video!

Wish you shipped to the U.S. I feel I can trust your quality of your products.

[@shannonrhoads7099]

I just added an anubias to my hunk of driftwood center of my tank. It's a medium sized one, though I didn't catch exactly one it is.

[@darreldavis1]

Hello. Should I use the full spectrum or just the white lights for my Anubias plants to thrive? Thank you.

[@quki3]

Anubias are my favorite too!! They are so pretty they almost look fake. I haven’t had luck keeping anything alive in my 10 gallon no co2 endler tank- except for my anubias! How often do I use excel? My anubias are starting to have algae on leaves and it doesn’t rub off! Thank you

[@omkar9217]

Hi .. can u help me with my American cichlid veija .. I recently bought them them are pretty stressed and have turned black / grey

[@wonderfulworldofwater370]

How do they grow in the wild? It would interesting to see 🤔

[@miguelfuentes7800]

👍👍👍

[@juli8vdberg562]

Can I use them in a terrarium? So just high humidity but not submerged ( I have Fittonia etc in it)

[@rudywatkins1312]

So glad I watched. HOLES all over my leaves. I thought it was the snails eating leaves. Guess I better go get fertilizer. Will the holes fill in or not??? Mine have just about taken over my aquarium. Need to split between my other tanks.

[@QuebecCichlides]

The holes will never fill up, but at least the new leaves will be healthy. If the leaves look like they are losing flesh, add some potassium as well :)

[@luvmywetpets]

How close to the Rhizome should I cut off the leaves that have green spot algae?

[@QuebecCichlides]

I cut them off completely

[@pjp9383]

Coffeefolia is my favourite, but I also recently discovered one of the sword shaped varieties called Lanceolata. My LFS ordered in a bunch at my request, and other people were buying them up so quickly that I got a frantic call asking when I was going to come by to pick some up! 😆 I snagged 4, which was exactly what I wanted. The broad leaf one you showed looks great. My tanks aren't huge, but I like to use some bigger varieties of plants even in smaller tanks. I suppose they'll eventually outgrow their homes - which will be a good excuse to buy a bigger tank! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for showing your personal tank. I love your betta! You have some nice house plants too. Is that a ZZ plant (Not sure of the proper name) over your shoulder, near the Monstera? I bought those two plants recently and have them in a little IKEA table top greenhouse, to keep them away from the cats.

[@QuebecCichlides]

That’s so nice of your LFS to order special plants for you. I like doing that with my regular clients. It forces me to try new plants that I wouldn’t usually get. Worst case, it flops, but at least we had some fun The house plants are just a small portion of my collection The one you see in the video is a ZZ plant - Black Raven variety 🌿 It’s black rather than green 😊

[@pjp9383]

@@QuebecCichlides It was sooo nice of them! I had seen them at a different store, but already attached to driftwood, and I had my own special piece of driftwood I wanted to attach them to. (But in the end, I didn't end up doing that, LOL!) Anyway, they're pretty nice anubias, no regrets! Love houseplants too, though I have to worry more about what is and isn't safe with the cats. ZZ is a new one for me, but it seems to be doing well for me so far.

[@QuebecCichlides]

@@pjp9383 ZZs don't need much light. They're super easy. My house is becoming a jungle lol

[@carlyholmes3604]

ive had mine in the gravel for months and they are still alive and green

[@J_is-new]

Can they grow in just gravel

[@HalfManHalfCichlid]

HalfMan HalfCichlid 0 seconds ago I love anubias. They grew like crazy for a couple of years and now they seem to shrink over time. One of the problems is black beard algae. I have cut back on lighting and am using CO2 to try to reverse this trend in one tank. I have also set up a "anubias farm" where I grow them emerged (plastic tote, miracle Gro soil, and grow light), and plan on returning them to my aquariums once they become larger and healthier. I plan on rotating anubias through the "farm" to keep them robust. I am a biologist too and have tried everything to get them to grow like they did for a while while immersed. The question I have is, what pH is your water at? I am concerned that Indianapolis water, pH at about8.2, will not allow me to have beautiful immeresed anubias plants.

[@QuebecCichlides]

My pH is between 7 - 8.2, depending on the tanks I'm keeping them in. It shouldn't affect the Anubias too much. For black beard algae, check out videos on YT that show how to get rid of it with Peroxyde. I didn't make any on the subject, but its out there.

[@HalfManHalfCichlid]

@@QuebecCichlides thank you for the input on pH. I have found peroxide and liquid carbon are effective short term but set the plants back because the root hairs and delicate leaves get burned. I am trying new lights and Siamese algae eaters currently

Salut , je suis nouveau sur votre chaîne. J’habite à Montréal et je me demandais si vous avez juste des ciclides ex africain ou toutes sorte de poissons en général comme des rams exc. j’ai des aquariums d’aquascaping donc beaucoup de plantes 😂je ne peux pas mettre n’importe quelle poissons.

[@QuebecCichlides]

Salut Stéphane Nous avons une bonne sélection de poissons tropicaux pour aquascapes. Nous avons aussi des plantes tropica et plein de stock d’aquascaping à la boutique. On est tombés sur la tête pour les aquascapes il y a quelques années.🌿

[@Nenezilla]

Just bought two anubias and had a heat spike and all the leaves melted off both. It's just the rizone left, no leaves nor roots. I'm hoping it comes back to life.

[@garygucciano5740]

Im just beginning aquariums, plants, etc. I had some plastic plants, and a friend gave me a few real plants tor my tank. 2 are anubias... hence the reason Im here. 😊 But... he doesnt know what kind they are. 😢

Try not to talk to much with your hands , your coming over a little too exuberant, 😀❤️

[@deballen4046]

I like your exuberance

[@Z4U3398]

Wrong. Anubias nana 'Petite' is a mutation first discovered & propagated at the nursery of Oriental Auarium Pte ltd, Singapore, not Tropica, Denmark. Tropica merely bought & propagated the plant. They did not develope it. Get your facts right.
