Anubias barteri var. nana

Info

Antenna catfish (Ancistrus sp.) are useful algae eaters for aquariums from 80 cm edge length. They Antenna catfish (Ancistrus sp.) are useful algae eaters for aquariums from 80 cm edge length. They remove algae and biofilm from hard substrates and glass panes relentlessly. As bottom-dwelling fish they require almost no swimming space, but hideout caves such as the Catfish Amphora are readily used.
The easy care Anubias barteri var. nana decorates the handmade clay cave in a natural way. If the catfish are not fed enough, they also rasp off aquarium plants, preferably Echinodorus leaves, which is then often but falsely declared as plant disease. However, this is a clear symptom of low feeding. Tip: You can prevent feeding damage to the leaves with green food in tablet form or blanched fresh vegetables.
