Anubias barteri nana - Dwarf spear leaf, multi-stemmed

Dennerle A21

max. growth height 5 - 10 cm Country of origin West Africa
Suitability Aquascaping, perch aquarium, community aquarium, NanoCube Type Perennial plant
family Araceae Genus Anubias
Propagation Division of the rhizome Growth rate slow
pH 5 - 9 Water hardness 0 - 30 °dh
Notes  Tie onto a stone or root.

The dwarf spear leaf, as it is known commercially, is one of the most popular aquarium plants of all. It is an excellent foreground plant that requires very little care. When planting, attention must be paid to the rhizome. This thickened shoot must not be covered with substrate. The small Anubias grows best when tied up on stones and roots (see Mbuna trees on page 78). The dwarf spear leaves are very often used for cichlids from Lake Malawi and Lake Tanganyika. Here they look particularly decorative between the stone structures.

Echinodorus grisebachii Bleherae - Large Amazon sword

Its leaves are 3–6 cm wider than those of the ‘amazonicus’ variety, and the height of up to 60 cm makes this species appear even more dominant. Mature clumps, some with more than 50 leaves, are a striking feature. However, the substrate must be at least 10 cm deep for the root system to develop properly. Combined with Helanthium species (dwarf Echinodorus), beautiful South American underwater landscapes can be created.

This is exactly what DuplaRin Axolotl Snack is designed for. The fine-grained granules sink reliably to the bottom and are therefore particularly suitable for animals that mainly feed on the substrate. At the same time, it retains its shape and water stability so that the food can be placed precisely and does not unnecessarily cloud the water.The balanced recipe combines high-quality animal proteins with essential vitamins and valuable minerals to meet the nutritional needs of these amphibians. The protein base includes herring meal, mealworm meal and insect BSF meal; the mixture is supplemented with salmon oil, wheat germ, brewer's yeast and seaweed (kelp), for example. The result is a staple food that is suitable for everyday use, can support growth and vitality and is designed for clean feeding in the aquarium or aquaterrarium. It is also practical to use: simply dose as required and follow the recommendation to feed only as much as can be consumed in around 30 minutes once or twice a day. This reduces food residues that could otherwise affect the water values. If you are looking for a reliable, sinking granulate as a daily basis, DuplaRin Axolotl Snack is a complete food that is consistently geared towards bottom-oriented amphibians - for controlled, clean feeding and a balanced diet.Zoo Roco tip:It is best to give the granules in portions at 1-2 fixed feeding places.

Due to its small size, it is also known as the dwarf clover fern.

However, the dwarf clover fern is significantly easier to grow and particularly easy to care for. Although it takes some time for the plant to acclimatise to the aquarium, it gradually forms an attractive carpet of plants. Ideally, the emersed shoots should be cut off completely before planting and the new submerged shoots will gradually form.Aquatic plants in vitroIn vitro plants are cultivated in the laboratory under sterile conditions. They are supplied in a 7cm closed container. The small plants are completely free of algae and snails and can be planted directly.
