Anubias hastifolia - APE - Aquatic Plant Enthusiasts

I had this Anubias hastifolia growing in my 55-gallon riparium setup, but I moved it out the other night into a larger setup.

I think that it has a wonderfully expressive shape. The leaves and petioles look like brush strokes to me. It is a slow grower. It sprouts a new leaf only every 8 weeks or so.

Those leaves look crazy cool! I have one in my holding tank right now, but its not nearly as nice as yours.

P.S: What kind of camera are you shooting with anyway?

Yes, I love this this plant. It is my favorite right now.

I have an Olympus something-or-other DSLR. It isn't a real fancy camera, but I'm not a very good photographer so it's good enough for me.

Be careful though, hastifolia doesn't last long under water.
Very nice shot, hydro.
