Anubias Barteri 'Round Leaf' Aquatic Farmer Tissue Culture
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.
By choosing the Tissue Culture version of this plant, you are guaranteed a 100% pest-free, algae-free, and pesticide-free start for your aquarium. These plants are grown in-vitro in a sterile laboratory setting, ensuring no unwanted snails or hitchhikers enter your system. While these plantlets start smaller and require more time to mature, they offer the cleanest and most reliable method for establishing a healthy colony in planted tanks.
Key Features & Benefits
- Distinct, circular leaf shape offers a unique geometric contrast against traditional pointed or lanceolate aquatic plants.
- Legendary Anubias hardiness ensures it effortlessly adapts to low-tech setups, varying water conditions, and active tank mates.
- The sterile laboratory environment guarantees your new plant arrives completely free of pests.
Care Tips & Preparation
- Carefully remove the plantlets from the cup and rinse away the sterile nutrient gel under lukewarm, dechlorinated water before mounting. For instructions on how to properly plant tissue culture aquarium plants, click here.
- Secure the plant directly to your chosen hardscape elements using aquarium-safe glue or thread. Avoid burying the 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.
