Anubias hastifolia is unique type of Anubias due to its rather dramatic appearance. It has exceptionally tall stalks and large, arrowhead-shaped leaves that really stand out amongst smaller plants in an aquarium. The leaves can grow quite large, in fact, and be the perfect shelter for small fish, fry and invertebrates. 

Anubias hastifolia will grow horizontally via its rhizome across the aquarium while sending its big leaves upwards toward the light.
