Anubias Barteri Coffeefolia
Plants are pest free! Some plants we sell are grown emersed which means out of water when they are stuck in aquariums, they may experience some melting (Leaves Dying) this does not mean they are dead as typically the plants will bounce back.
Anubias Barteri Coffeefolia is a beautiful and distinctive freshwater aquarium plant prized for its unique leaf coloration and attractive foliage. New leaves often emerge with a rich reddish-brown, bronze, or coffee-colored appearance before gradually developing into deep green leaves as they mature. This gives Coffeefolia Anubias a striking look that adds color, texture, and contrast to planted aquariums, community tanks, shrimp tanks, and aquascapes.
Like other Anubias varieties, Anubias Barteri Coffeefolia is a hardy, slow-growing, and low-maintenance aquarium plant. It can thrive under low to moderate lighting and generally does not require injected CO₂, making it an excellent choice for beginner aquarists as well as experienced aquascapers.
Unique Foliage for Planted Aquariums
Anubias Barteri Coffeefolia is especially popular because of its unusual leaf coloration and textured appearance. The newer leaves can provide attractive bronze and reddish tones, while mature leaves develop into rich green foliage. This makes Coffeefolia an excellent plant for adding color and visual contrast to an aquascape without requiring demanding plant-care conditions.
Its compact-to-medium growth habit makes it well suited for midground placement, although it can also be positioned elsewhere depending on the size and layout of your aquarium. It looks particularly attractive when attached to driftwood or rocks alongside other aquarium plants.
Anubias Barteri Coffeefolia is a rhizome plant, so the rhizome should never be completely buried beneath aquarium substrate. Instead, attach the plant to driftwood, aquarium rocks, spider wood, or other hardscape using aquarium-safe glue, thread, or fishing line. The roots will naturally grow around the hardscape and help anchor the plant over time.

Lighting: Low to moderate
CO₂: Not required

A Hardy & Beginner-Friendly Aquarium Plant
Anubias Barteri Coffeefolia is an excellent choice for aquarists looking for a hardy, easy-care aquatic plant with unique coloration. Its durable leaves, slow growth, and ability to grow under relatively low lighting make it one of the more forgiving plants for freshwater aquariums.
Coffeefolia can also be a great addition to freshwater shrimp tanks, where its broad leaves and attached growth habit provide additional surfaces for shrimp to explore and graze.
Whether you're creating a planted community aquarium, shrimp tank, low-tech aquarium, or detailed aquascape, Anubias Barteri Coffeefolia provides attractive foliage and unique bronze-to-green coloration while requiring relatively little maintenance.
