I’m really liking this variety of Anubias I wish I could find more…

[Magnum Man]

This is growing in a 24 inch deep tank, and almost grows to the surface, and I’ve only found it ( easily ) at a seller that I had bad experience with the fish… I might be tempted to try ordering another group of these plants, from them, unless I could find them from another source…

I’m not positive, but I think they are Congensis…

Anubias gigantea?

 

[GaryE]

Just be patient. That plant should spread. I started with 2 or 3 Anubias of the varieties I have now, and as things went along, I now have dozens of each spread around.

 

[MuddyWaters]

Yeah this one is definitely unique compared to others I've seen. Either that or it doesn't "look" like what I know to be anubias, so when I've seen it I just assumed it was something else.

@MuddyWaters that is actually the name of a type of Anubias. No jokes here.

FINALLY a latin name that actually means something to a dummy like me who needs names like "gigantea"

PLANT ENVY!!!!!

That's wonderful. Would you share more about your tank setup? I would love to get one of those in my tank. More pics would be good as well, we like pics!

The Anubias gigantea https://dustinsfishtanks.com/cdn/sh...quariumPlantForSale_05_1296x.jpg?v=1726775215

Seems to have and arrowhead shaped leaf, and mine are more spearhead shaped…

Frazeri, that I find for sale, 4 to 6 inches are listed as large, so while they look similar, they appear to be smaller…

I found ‘Anubias Congensis, listed, with no sizes, looks similar to what I have

I have that alongside Anubias coffeefolia both great looking plants

 

[MaloK]

There is a mini Congensis, it still goes to 12-14 inch tall, but the leaves are narrower and doesn't have spearhead leaves.

 

[CassCats]

Anubias Heterophylla is the scientific name of congo anubias, it grows massive

Another large variety is anubias hastifolia, it also has arrowhead shaped leaves. Instead of the smooth shaped ones heterophylla has

 

[Nells250]

That's quite a plant! One of the first things I had to learn when I started buying real plants is LOOK AT THE SIZE DESCRIPTION! Even then, they vary from dealer to dealer.

 

[fishorama]

I've had what were called frazeri, too small to be that. Maybe congensis or similar as MaloK said. But I see that gigantea has younger spear shaped leaves. Maybe give it some time & you'll know more if it changes after a while.

I wouldn't discount it for not having the arrow leaves alone. It appears that the arrow leaves come on as it nears the surface. Whether that is a submerged vs. emersed thing or just juvenile vs adult form leaves, I couldn't say. The pic in connorlindeman's post shows it pretty well in the upper leaves.
That said, it does fit the A. congensis description quite well.

edit: I see fishorama noticed the same thing.
