Newbie!!!

I've just sent photos to sue as my phone doesn't let me post them. Hopefully she won't mind putting them on for me!  Then u could see what u think? Xxx

Great to hear you're winning the battle! 

With Anubias, the woody part where the green stems grow from is the Rhizome and it mustn't be buried or it will rot and the plant will die.

You can tie the Rhizome to rock, stone or wood using natural cotton, and the plant will take hold and the cotton will naturally degrade.

Other people have used Superglue successfully, but if you do this check that its active ingredient is Cyanoacrylate as this is fish-safe.

Thanks sue 😘

Certainly looks like bacopa, do the leaves smell when you crush one? That'll grow really well ifff you stick it i the substrate, I'd advise planting the stems reasonably close together but individually, they'll hopeefully bush out a bit then.

The second plant is an anubias, and one that is flowering. I know this because I have one that looks almost identical.

I've been going through my plant labels. I have 5 species of anubias but only 2 labels. I know it isn't A hastifolia (1 of the labels) as that's the one on the thin spindly wood. It's not A barteri coffeefolia as that's on the same piece of wood as the wendelov java fern. It's not A lanceolata because that's the one on the mangrove root. That leaves 2 plants and 1 label. The label is A. nana Bonzai, but is that the tiny one that there are clumps of in the 50 litre and the big tank which I've had for years, or is it the big leaved plant on the piece of wood at the back of the main tank which looks like Silver's plant? And what is the name of 5th plant?


Edit - bonsai, as you would expect, is "The smallest Anubias variety in the trade" according to one site I've found so that's the tiny one I've had for years. Which means the one I can't find a label for and can't remember the name is the one that looks like Silver's.

anubias barteri var. caladiifolia perhaps?
