Round leaves, full size. Anubias barteri 'Golden Coin' grows broad, near-circular leaves on a full-sized plant — a shape that stands out sharply among the spade and lance leaves the rest of the genus offers. Thick and leathery enough to survive cichlids, Arowanas and other fish that destroy softer planting.

Grower’s Notes
- Broad flat leaves earn their keep in a Betta tank. They sit near the surface and give a Betta somewhere to rest — a practical function, not just decoration.
- Never bury the rhizome. Glue or tie it to wood or stone; buried rhizomes rot.
- This is the parent of Anubias Petite Coin, which crosses it with Nana 'Petite' for the same round leaf at nano scale.
- Divide with a clean blade, keeping at least three leaves and some roots per section.
- Slow growth means damaged leaves stay damaged — trim them at the rhizome rather than waiting for recovery.

I love anubias and ever since I slapped it on a rock in my snail tank the babies have been transfixed and are hovering around it. Funniest things. The plant came perfectly healthy even though postage was delayed until after Sunday.

Sent picture got it straight from the mailman's hand. Horrible rhizome rot. Sent email waiting to get feedback

The plants arrived in less than a week. This barteri round where in perfect condition as you can see in the picture but way smaller than I thought it would be. Just a little bigger than a petite. Anyway, they look beautiful in my small beta tank.

I bought an Anubias Barteri, Java fern, salvinia, bolbitis difformis, Java moss and an anubias petite on driftwood and everything arrived looking healthy, full and beautiful. Really impressed! Shipped pretty fast, too, and was packed to keep the heat in since it was coming to Massachusetts. This is my first time ordering from APF and I’ll definitely be ordering from them again - because like so many out there, I’m suffering from Multiple Tank Syndrome.

This is by far the most beautiful anubias nana I have ever seen. I received a full bunch with over a dozen leaves. I nestled it in my driftwood and it is a gorgeous centerpiece for my 5-gal nano tank.
D
The piece I received is FLAWLESS. The leaves are so green, no tears, yellows, or missing leaves. The rhizome was clean all the way down to its fairly elaborate root system.
Impressive is an understatement.
