Characteristics
Anubias barteri var. frazer is a hardy plant with lush arrow shaped foliage. This plant may reach up to 20 inches inches and has thick creeping rhizomes. It has longer narrow leaves compared to many of the other Anubias species. They are a lighter green coloration and are waxy and thick. This variety of Anubias barteri is an amphibious form that will survive either totally or partially submersed. This hybrid was created by Ed Frazer from Piecies Aquarium Plant Nursery in Australia. It is fast growing for an Anubias and very decorative and easy to grow.
