![]() | Prices of anubias nana!!? |
BruceTheBetta![]() Hobbyist Posts: 95 Votes: 0 Registered: 31-Jan-2004 ![]() ![]() | My local LPS has them for 12.88 each! Big Als' is around $10. Is this a normal price?? I'd always thought, since they were hardy and easy to grow, they'd be cheaper... |

If so, that price is quite reasonable. For a small one with a few leaves, I'd say 3.99 is closer to the mark. They're easy, but they take forever to grow, so they're not generally dirt cheap. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com! |

They are so darn slow at growing the prices have to be high to make any kind of profit. Also why it is absolutely impossible for me to find decent sized ones ![]() At least with Anubias, they are a safe investment as they are almost impossible to kill. They represent good value IMO, you can spend that amount on stem plants that could die in a month, generally no such worries with Anubias. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability. |
