Care for Anubias is relatively easy. It is best placed in the middle ground and will look its best under low to moderate lighting (with the exception of variegated anubias which perfers higher lighting).  Excessive lighting may result in unattractive, pesky algae growth on its leaves.  However, this algae growth can easily be kept under control in an aquarium with a healthy population of shrimp (especially Amano shrimp) that will constantly graze on the algae without harming the Anubias plant itself.  Most herbivorous animals will not harm Anubias whatsoever, although some bio-fim/”wood-eating” Panaque genus plecos may “chew” holes in its leaves.  Anubias species has slow and steady in growth and does not seem to respond significantly to CO2 supplementation.  It does best when attached to driftwood or rockwork.  It can be planted in the substrate but its rhizome (roots) must not be buried in the substrate or it will rot and recede.  It can also be planted emersed in terrariums, paludariums, and viquariums.
