Anubias Barteri Round (Golden Coin)

Plant Profile

Common Name: Anubias Barteri Round, Anubias Golden Coin

Also affectionately known in the hobby as Anubias Golden Coin, this fast-rising favorite swaps out the standard pointed leaf shape for charming, coin-like circular foliage. Resting atop tall, graceful stems similar to classic Anubias Barteri, its broad, coin-shaped leaves bring a playful geometry and rich green texture that instantly softens heavy rockwork and dark driftwood. Thriving across a wide range of water parameters with minimal effort, this bulletproof beauty makes a standout midground or background accent that pays major visual dividends.

Key Features & Benefits

• Distinct, circular leaf shape offers a unique geometric contrast against traditional pointed or lanceolate aquatic plants.
• Tall stem structure provides impressive verticality, making it an ideal midground anchor or soft background centerpiece.
• Legendary Anubias hardiness ensures it effortlessly adapts to low-tech setups, varying water conditions, and active tank mates.

Care & Planting Instructions

• Carefully remove the plant from its pot and clear away all rockwool from the roots. For a deep dive on prepping potted plants, click here.
  
• Secure the plant directly to your chosen hardscape elements using aquarium-safe glue or thread. Avoid burying the thick horizontal stem in gravel or soil because restricting water flow around the rhizome will cause the plant to melt, rot, and die.
• Maintain stable water parameters and avoid sudden environmental shifts to ensure your new greenery acclimates smoothly without shedding leaves.
• Position the plant away from intense, direct light and ensure healthy water flow to prevent slow-growing leaves from collecting unwanted spot algae.
• Provide low to moderate lighting and optional carbon dioxide injection to achieve faster growth and more robust leaves, though it will happily thrive without high-tech setups.
