Anubias "Coffeefolia" is a unique and highly sought-after species of Anubias known for its striking, dark green leaves that exhibit a rich, textured surface resembling the veins of a coffee leaf—hence the name "Coffeefolia." This slow-growing, hardy plant is perfect for aquarium enthusiasts looking to add both beauty and function to their freshwater tanks. Anubias Coffeefolia is perfect for low-tech setups and aquascaping, as it thrives in low light and requires minimal care, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced aquarists alike.
Unlike many aquatic plants, Anubias Coffeefolia prefers to be attached to rocks, driftwood, or other hard surfaces, rather than being planted in substrate, making it ideal for aquascapes where space or substrate conditions may be limiting. With its attractive foliage, ease of care, and ability to flourish in a variety of water conditions, Anubias Coffeefolia adds a touch of natural elegance to any aquarium.

- Distinctive Foliage: The glossy, dark green leaves have a unique coffee-colored pattern, giving the plant a bold and textural appearance that stands out in aquariums. - Hardy & Low Maintenance: One of the most resilient species of Anubias, it thrives in a variety of water conditions and light levels, making it easy to grow and care for. - Ideal for Low-Light Tanks: Performs well in low to moderate lighting, which makes it perfect for aquariums with limited lighting or low-tech setups. - Versatile Placement: Can be attached to driftwood, rocks, or other surfaces, making it a great option for aquascaping and creating natural focal points in the tank. - Slow Growing: Its slow growth allows for easy maintenance, with minimal trimming needed compared to faster-growing plants.
Benefits:
- Aesthetic Appeal: The rich, dark green leaves with their unique coffee-like texture add depth and contrast to your aquascape. - Low Maintenance: Perfect for aquariums with minimal lighting or for hobbyists who prefer easy-to-care-for plants.

Care Instructions:
- Lighting: Anubias Coffeefolia thrives in low to moderate light. While it can tolerate bright light, excessive lighting can encourage algae growth on the plant's leaves. - Water Conditions: Prefers slightly acidic to neutral water with a pH of 6.5 to 7.5. Ideal water temperatures range from 72°F to 82°F (22°C to 28°C). - Substrate: Does not require planting in substrate. Instead, attach it to rocks, driftwood, or other hard surfaces using fishing line, super glue, or small mesh. - Maintenance: Regularly wipe down the leaves to remove any algae buildup and trim any dead or damaged leaves to keep the plant healthy and looking its best.
Applications:
- Freshwater aquariums - Aquascaping and planted tank designs - Community tanks with small to medium-sized fish - Low-tech aquariums or tanks with low lighting
Note: Anubias Coffeefolia is a slow-grower, making it a great choice for aquariums that require minimal plant maintenance. It is also well-suited for aquascaping layouts where space is at a premium, as it doesn’t need to be planted in the substrate and can be placed strategically in the hardscape.
