Anubias afzelii

Anubias afzelii is a robust and elegant aquarium plant known for its elongated, lance-shaped leaves and deep green coloration. This West African species is larger than most other Anubias, making it an excellent choice for midground to background placement in larger aquariums or as a statement piece in smaller tanks.

Like all Anubias, Afzelii is hardy, slow-growing, and thrives when attached to rocks, driftwood, or other hardscape elements. It tolerates low light, making it ideal for low-maintenance setups and aquariums with shade-loving livestock.
