I am starting to really get into anubias plants and in the process of trying to acquire the different varieties. So far coffeefolia seems to be my favourite just waiting for it to arrive.

 

So wondering if anyone else is into anubias and if so what are you keeping? I would like to see photos as well if willing to share so I can see what they look like when their big.

 

Another thing I am curious to know is what the values are on the different varieties so I know what to pay? I have read on a couple of sites that coffeefolia is supposedly one of the rarer ones? Not sure if this is still the case.

All I have these days is nana petite. Oz, you're absolutely right about barteri "Coffeefolia", it's a stunner. The afzelliis and barteri var angustifolia are really nice too. 

I have seen high prices on some variegated Anubias clones, but the variegation on these is mostly not to my taste.

After receiving my new anubias plants this morning and being amazed at the quality i am pretty sure one of the ones i already had was a coffeeolia to. Anyhow i scraped the front of my tank yesterday after packing plants for a sale on here an got reinvigorated passion back for what was behind the glass as opposed to just letting them breed.

 

Though i would share some photos of what i have got so far anubias wise and thrown in some shrimp pics to, just taken on my phone.

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      Pure Red Line (PRL) Shrimps Western Australia seller

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
