	How does this sound?
ifancyfish Fingerling Posts: 28 Kudos: 24 Votes: 16 Registered: 19-Feb-2005	I'm getting conflicting answers, so I thought I would ask here. Are anubias barteri and anubias nana good plants for low light? Some say moderate light, and others say low light. Help? Please?

Short of severe nutrient deficencies, it is almost impossible to ruin anubias plants. *Back in the saddle!*

ifancyfish Fingerling Posts: 28 Kudos: 24 Votes: 16 Registered: 19-Feb-2005	Yeah. That was going to be my next question - whether or not to plant them under the gravel or attach them to something. Not that I have any clue as to how to attach a plant to anything.

Or if that's too hard/not convenient, just bury its roots, not the rhizome (the green horizontal "bar" where the roots come down)
