- Attach each plant to rocks, driftwood, or decor using super glue gel. Ensure the rhizome is not buried to prevent damage.
Care Tips for Anubias barteri:
- Use low lighting (10–20 PAR) to prevent algae growth. If using brighter lighting, position the plant in a shaded area or under taller plants.
- If leaves turn yellow or brown, test nitrate levels and dose with Easy Green fertilizer to maintain 20–50 ppm nitrate. Add Easy Potassium fertilizer for extra nutrients if needed.
- Trim off any dying or damaged leaves at the base to maintain the plant’s health and appearance.
How to Propagate Anubias barteri:
- Use sharp scissors to cut the rhizome into sections and replant as desired. Each section will grow into a new plant.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
"What You See is What You Get" collection?
With our "What You See is What You Get" collection, you can view the exact fish you'll be receiving. Each fish is photographed individually, so you know exactly what you're purchasing before it arrives at your door.
Do you offer a live arrival guarantee?
Yes! We offer a 100% live arrival guarantee. Our fish are shipped directly from our collections with care, and we stand behind their quality. If your fish arrive in poor condition, please contact us within 24 hours with a photo, and we’ll provide a replacement or refund, as per our terms and conditions.
What is the Direct from Farm collection?
The Direct from Farm collection is our preorder system where you can select fish directly from our farm in Thailand. Because we carefully source each fish, this process takes a little longer—approximately 2 weeks for the fish to arrive from Thailand and another week for quarantine before being shipped to you. This ensures that your fish are healthy and acclimated before they reach your aquarium.
How do I care for my new fish once they arrive?
When your fish arrive, it’s important to acclimate them gradually to your tank’s water temperature. Ensure your aquarium is fully cycled and that water parameters (temperature, pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels) are stable. If you need any tips on setting up your tank or caring for your fish, feel free to reach out!

Simple answers to help you feel ready for your new plants.
Do these plants need CO2?
No. Root tabs help Amazon swords.
Why are the leaves melting?
Some melting is normal while plants adjust. Trim dead leaves and new growth should follow.
How much floating plant is too much?
Keep floaters under 50–70% of the surface so light and air still get through.
Can I use plants with my goldfish?
Not if you keep 3000 ppm salt like our goldfish guide recommends.
