The characteristic growth is especially well emphasised in this case.

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.

Combined with Helanthium species (dwarf Echinodorus), beautiful South American underwater landscapes can be created.

These fish require harder water, which is problematic for many plants. Vallisneria australis 'Giganta', however, prefers these water values.
