That's an awesome deal!!! Anubias I've seen are around $3 for a plant with 3-5 leaves... not too impressive. Good luck with them all :-)

Yes there doing great and thriving theres actually leaves poping out lol rofl3.gif iam so happy that there doing good.
Black oranda
Did your goldfish try to rip them out yet?
ali
so far in all of my tanks no, what there doing is playing around it but no bites yet lol.
they just swim threw it and play around it but nothing more than that. i saw no bite or little nibble marks yet purpban.gif. but its leaves are huge and if they do they wont be able to mutate it that much. and there not playing or uprooting the gravel where it is planted either purpban.gif. biggrin.gif
Black oranda
