Add bold texture and lush greenery to your aquascape with Anubias barteri "Wrinkled."

Its dark green leaves contrast beautifully against driftwood, rocks, and other aquatic plants.

Ideal For:
Tanks of all sizes, especially low-tech setups. It's also a popular choice in planted tanks with fish that nibble on softer plants, as Anubias leaves are tough and rarely eaten.
