I'm now up to 4-5 varieties, and all seem to be thriving, with the Coffeefola being the most challenging, the couple varieties of Nana, thriving, but being smaller, aren't as impressive, but I have large Hastofolia, and Congensis that are large impressive plants, so far none have required me to put fertilizer in the tanks, they thrive in tropical and cooler tanks, and are holding up to Cichlid, larger Barb, and Silver Dollar abuse... if you haven't tried an Anubias, I recommend them...
 
I like anubias too, they are fairly slow growing and do well in low light, they don't need any special maintenance either so ideal for beginners in underwater gardening...I have one that's about 10 years old and been in several tanks, it is alive but not growing at all now since the rainbows snack on the new emerging leaves 🙄
 
I like anubias plants

They area slow growing plant that does come in a good variety of different plants
 
I have more anubias than any other plants. I have some that are 20+ years old now. I have not bought a new anubias in at least 15 years and likely closer to 20.

They can get huge and they will do so in better lighting (but not overdone) as well as fertilizer and even CO2 will make them do so faster.

You can never have too many anubias unless you cannot get another tank........
 
Anubias caladiifolia is one of my favourites, I recommend if you don't already have it :D

This is the big one in my goldfish tank, they uprooted it yesterday and I needed to reattach it lol
