Anubias congensis is a popular aquatic plant that is native to the Congo basin in Central Africa. It is often used in aquariums as a decorative plant because of its unique appearance and ease of care.

This plant is known for its dark green, heart-shaped leaves that grow on long, thick stems. The leaves are leathery and have a shiny, waxy appearance. Anubias congensis is a slow-growing plant that can reach a height of up to 16 inches, making it suitable for both large and small aquariums.

One of the most interesting facts about Anubias congensis is that it has a symbiotic relationship with certain fish species. The leaves of the plant are covered in a thin layer of mucus, which attracts a specific type of fish known as the Anubias barteri fish. These fish feed on the mucus, which helps to keep the leaves clean and free from debris.

Another unusual fact about Anubias congensis is that it is a highly adaptable plant that can survive in a wide range of water conditions. It can grow in low light environments and is not demanding when it comes to water quality. This makes it an ideal plant for beginners or those who are looking for a low-maintenance addition to their aquarium.
