Anubias sp. 'Dragon Claw' is a rare and striking variant prized for its dramatically pointed, arched leaves that curl slightly at the edges, resembling the claws of a dragon. This slow-growing epiphyte brings a highly unique texture and a fierce, exotic look to the midground of any planted aquarium.

Why Choose It

• Fierce Aesthetic: The elongated, sharply tapered leaves with distinct waves offer a completely different visual profile compared to the typical rounded leaves of standard Anubias.

• Rare & Collectible: A highly sought-after variety for hobbyists looking to add unique, premium specimens to their hardscapes.

• Bulletproof Hardiness: Retains the legendary resilience of the Anubias family, making it incredibly forgiving and easy for beginners to grow.

• Herbivore Resistant: Features the same tough, leathery foliage as its relatives, naturally deterring most plant-eating fish and snails.

Planting & Care

• Attachment: Never bury the thick horizontal rhizome in the substrate, as it will suffocate and rot. Use aquarium-safe cyanoacrylate super glue or dark thread to attach the rhizome directly to driftwood branches or rocks.

• Upkeep: Thrives best in low-light environments. Because its growth rate is very slow, placing it under high lighting without CO2 will invite algae to grow on its distinct leaves. It does exceptionally well when shaded by taller background plants.
