Anubias lancelota – bunch

Anubias ‘Lancelota’ is a distinctive freshwater aquatic plant, admired for its long, narrow, lance-shaped leaves that add a refined, structured look to aquascapes. A variation of Anubias barteri, this plant is native to West Africa and is highly valued for its durability and adaptability. Its elegant, pointed foliage makes it an excellent choice for midground placement, where it provides contrast and depth in freshwater aquariums and paludariums.

Like other Anubias species, Anubias ‘Lancelota’ thrives in a variety of water conditions, tolerating low to moderate lighting and requiring no CO₂ supplementation. It grows best when attached to driftwood or rocks, as burying the rhizome in the substrate can cause rot. With its slow growth rate and tough leaves, it is highly resistant to herbivorous fish, making it a long-lasting addition to many tank setups.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Anubias ‘Lancelota’ contributes to a balanced aquarium ecosystem by absorbing excess nutrients and offering shelter for fish and invertebrates. Its hardy nature and low-maintenance requirements make it a great choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists looking to enhance their aquascapes with a unique and resilient plant
