Keeping Anubias in an aquarium

Among exotic underwater plants, there are many surprising ones. One such example is Anubias. This is a marsh plant from the Araceae family, native to the humid tropics of Africa. It is primarily found on rocks along streams and rivers, where in some places it can be completely submerged. This plant is notable in that it is often found in home aquariums, where it is used for decorative purposes. However, Anubias thrives best in humid greenhouses called paludariums.
