Anubias Afzelii is a beautiful, hardy, and low-maintenance freshwater aquarium plant known for its elongated, deep-green leaves and sturdy growth. Its larger leaf shape gives aquascapes a natural, tropical appearance, making it an excellent choice for planted aquariums, community tanks, shrimp tanks, and aquascaping.
Like other Anubias varieties, Anubias Afzelii is a slow-growing plant that is relatively undemanding and does well in a wide range of aquarium conditions. It can thrive under low to moderate lighting and does not require injected CO₂, making it a great option for both beginners and experienced aquarium keepers.
Great for Planted Aquariums & Aquascaping
Anubias Afzelii works particularly well as a midground or background aquarium plant, especially in larger aquariums where its elongated leaves have room to develop. Its rich green foliage provides an attractive contrast against driftwood, rocks, and other aquarium plants.
Anubias Afzelii is a rhizome plant, so the rhizome should not be completely buried in aquarium substrate. Instead, the plant can be attached to driftwood, aquarium rocks, spider wood, or other hardscape using aquarium-safe glue, thread, or fishing line. Once established, its roots will naturally attach to the hardscape.

Because Anubias Afzelii grows slowly, it requires very little trimming and is an excellent choice for low-tech aquariums. Its tough leaves are also less prone to damage than many delicate aquatic plants, making it a dependable addition to a long-term planted aquarium.
A Hardy Aquarium Plant for Beginners
Anubias Afzelii is an excellent choice for aquarium keepers looking for a hardy, easy-care aquatic plant that provides lasting greenery without demanding high light or CO₂ injection. Its distinctive elongated leaves can add height, texture, and visual interest to a wide variety of aquascaping styles.

This beautiful sword plant is an excellent choice for adding bold color, height, and visual interest to planted aquariums, community tanks, large aquariums, and natural aquascapes.
Red Rubin Sword is a great centerpiece plant for aquarists looking to add rich red coloration to their freshwater aquarium. As the plant matures, it can develop a large rosette of broad leaves that creates a dramatic focal point while providing a lush, natural appearance.

As an Echinodorus sword plant, Red Rubin develops an extensive root system and benefits greatly from a nutrient-rich aquarium substrate. Root tabs or other aquarium-safe substrate fertilizers can provide additional nutrients to support healthy root development and strong leaf growth.
When planting, place the roots firmly into the aquarium substrate while keeping the crown of the plant above the substrate. Avoid burying the crown, as this can cause rot and interfere with healthy growth.

Ammonia Test: Detects ammonia, a potentially toxic compound that can accumulate in new aquariums, overstocked tanks, or systems with disrupted biological filtration.
Nitrite Test: Monitors nitrite levels during aquarium cycling and routine maintenance to help identify problems with biological filtration.
Nitrate Test: Measures nitrate accumulation, helping you determine when water changes and other maintenance may be needed.
Together, these four tests provide valuable information about aquarium water quality and the progress of the biological filtration cycle.
Ideal for New Aquariums and Aquarium Cycling
Establishing a new aquarium requires careful monitoring of ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate as beneficial bacteria develop in the biological filter. The Fritz Master Test Kit helps aquarium owners follow these changes and recognize when water parameters need attention.
It is also useful for established aquariums, where regular testing can reveal changes caused by excess fish waste, overfeeding, insufficient maintenance, or filtration problems.
Suitable for Freshwater and Saltwater Aquariums
The Fritz Master Test Kit is designed for use with both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. Its wide-range pH test, ammonia test, nitrite test, and nitrate test help fishkeepers monitor water conditions across a variety of aquarium environments.
Use it for freshwater community tanks, planted aquariums, tropical fish tanks, marine aquariums, and other compatible aquarium setups.
Easy-to-Use Liquid Aquarium Test Kit
Testing your aquarium water is straightforward. Collect a water sample in the included test tube, add the specified liquid reagents according to each test's instructions, allow the required color-development time, and compare the resulting color with the appropriate chart.
The kit includes the reagents and testing accessories needed to perform the four included tests, helping you keep your aquarium maintenance routine organized.

Keep your aquarium water safe for fish and other aquatic life with Fritz Complete Water Conditioner, a concentrated, full-spectrum aquarium water conditioner designed to neutralize chlorine and chloramine while detoxifying ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. This powerful all-in-one water treatment helps make tap water suitable for aquarium use and supports water quality management during aquarium setup, routine water changes, and unexpected water quality problems.
Suitable for freshwater, saltwater, reef, and planted aquariums, Fritz Complete provides convenient, one-step water conditioning for both beginner and experienced aquarists. Its concentrated formula treats large volumes of water with a small amount of product, making it a practical addition to any aquarium maintenance routine.
Removes Chlorine and Chloramine from Tap Water
Municipal tap water often contains chlorine or chloramine to disinfect drinking water, but these chemicals can harm fish and beneficial aquarium bacteria. Fritz Complete helps neutralize chlorine and chloramine, allowing you to prepare replacement water before adding it to your aquarium.
For best results, add Fritz Complete to tap water before introducing the treated water into your fish tank.
Detoxifies Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate
Fritz Complete is more than a standard aquarium dechlorinator. Its full-spectrum formula also detoxifies ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, helping you manage potentially harmful nitrogen compounds in aquarium water.
This makes it especially useful during new aquarium cycling, routine tank maintenance, and situations where water testing reveals elevated nitrogen compounds. Continue testing your aquarium water and performing appropriate water changes, as water conditioning does not replace proper filtration and aquarium maintenance.
Ideal for Freshwater, Saltwater and Reef Aquariums
The versatile Fritz Complete formula is designed for use in a wide range of aquarium environments, including:
Freshwater fish tanks
Saltwater aquariums
Marine and reef aquariums
Planted aquariums
New aquarium setups
Routine aquarium water changes
Aquarium water quality management
Fritz Complete does not affect aquarium pH when used as directed and is designed not to over-activate protein skimmers.
Concentrated Formula for Easy Aquarium Water Treatment
The recommended dosage is 5 mL (1 teaspoon) per 50 US gallons (189 liters) of water. This concentrated formula makes it easy to treat large quantities of tap water without adding excessive amounts of conditioner.
When treating aquarium water for ammonia, nitrite, or nitrate, calculate the dose based on the total aquarium volume rather than only the amount of replacement water.
For extremely high chloramine or nitrite levels, the manufacturer allows repeat or increased dosing under specified conditions. Follow the official instructions carefully, avoid overdosing, and ensure adequate water circulation and aeration.
Easy to Use for Routine Aquarium Maintenance
Whether you're filling a new aquarium, performing a partial water change, or responding to elevated ammonia levels, Fritz Complete offers a convenient way to condition aquarium water.
Simply measure the appropriate amount, add it to the replacement water before adding that water to the aquarium, and follow the manufacturer's directions for any treatment of existing aquarium water.
Important testing note: Fritz Complete can interfere with Nessler-type ammonia tests and Winkler-type oxygen tests. The manufacturer recommends salicylate-based ammonia test kits for compatible ammonia testing.

Help protect your fish from common external parasites with Fritz FixIck, a specialized aquarium ich treatment designed to treat Ich (Ick) and other protozoan parasites in freshwater and saltwater aquariums. This fast-acting fish medication targets common external parasitic infections, including Chilodonella, Trichodina, and Tetrahymena, helping aquarium owners manage fish health problems with a convenient treatment regimen.
Unlike many traditional ich medications, Fritz FixIck is formulated without formaldehyde or malachite green. Its formula includes gentian violet and is designed to provide effective parasite treatment while offering an alternative to some harsher conventional treatments. The distinctive purple color is characteristic of the product.
Whether you're treating an affected freshwater aquarium or managing parasitic infections in a saltwater fish system, Fritz FixIck provides a targeted treatment option for common external fish parasites.
Effective Treatment for Ich and External Parasites
Ich, also known as Ick or white spot disease, is a common parasitic infection that affects aquarium fish. Fritz FixIck is formulated to treat Ich and several other external protozoan parasites, including:
Ich (Ick) and white spot disease
Chilodonella
Trichodina
Tetrahymena
The manufacturer also reports additional antibacterial and antifungal properties that may help address certain secondary infection concerns.
Formaldehyde-Free and Malachite Green-Free Formula
Fritz FixIck offers an alternative to traditional ich treatments by excluding formaldehyde and malachite green from its formula. Gentian violet is one of its active ingredients and gives the medication its recognizable purple appearance.
This formulation is designed to provide effective treatment without relying on those two commonly used chemicals. Always follow the product label and observe fish closely throughout treatment.
Suitable for Freshwater and Saltwater Fish
Fritz FixIck is designed for use in freshwater and saltwater aquariums containing compatible fish. It can be used as part of a fish health management routine when external protozoan parasites are identified.
For best results, Fritz Aquatics recommends treating affected fish in a separate quarantine tank when possible. This can help simplify treatment and reduce unnecessary exposure of other aquarium inhabitants.
Important: Fritz FixIck is not recommended for systems containing invertebrates or coral. Shrimp, snails, clams, crabs, other crustaceans, mollusks, and corals must be removed before treatment.
Six-Day Aquarium Ich Treatment
Fritz FixIck uses a straightforward treatment schedule. Follow the current product label and manufacturer instructions carefully.
Day 1: Add 5 mL per 10 US gallons of aquarium water.
Day 2: Repeat the same dose.
Day 3: Perform a 25–30% water change.
Day 4: Repeat the recommended dose.
Day 5: Repeat the recommended dose.
Day 6: Perform a 25–30% water change.
Shake the bottle well before each dose. The manufacturer recommends raising the water temperature to 82–85°F before treatment, but only do so if the fish species and aquarium inhabitants can safely tolerate that temperature. Maintain adequate aeration and monitor fish for signs of distress.
During treatment, remove activated carbon and ion-exchange resins, and discontinue protein skimmers and UV sterilizers as directed. Avoid water changes during the course when possible; if a water change is necessary, follow the manufacturer's instructions for treating replacement water.
Available Sizes
Choose the bottle size that suits your aquarium treatment needs:
8 oz: Treats up to 480 gallons over a complete treatment course.
16 oz: Treats up to 946 gallons over a complete treatment course.
The amount treated reflects the manufacturer's stated treatment capacity and accounts for the repeated doses in the treatment schedule.
