@@AquatikGuru Me too. I had some luck for a little while by keeping it by a current under lowish light, but it wouldnt stay attached to anything becuase of how small the piece was and it just got lost in the duckweed and melted away.
@epictetus__ it’s actually not as complicated as it sounds. The plant with I believe over 3000-4000 types of plants that survive without photosynthesis and basically learned to parasitize other plants, fungus, etc and use the sugars from them. Beyond that I’m not scientifically capable of explaining much more about it than that. I’ve tried learning more but outside reading, i haven’t had much luck meeting someone who knew or could explain it.
Extremely hard to keep (purchased a total of 5 cups). I've had the most luck growing it in the Tissue culture under indirect high light. 2 leaves a month. Terribly sensitive to change in PH, Nutrients and such. I recently got the first leaf to grow in a CO2 injected, major surface agitation, and ADA daily fertilizer.
how did these end up looking after they grew
They honestly turned out not growing. In low light or high light. Not sure what happened with it.

I’m gonna try some better quality ones and see if it was just those or if they’re all tough
I got a bigger one from petco and it has specks of variegation it’s not much though but I’m assuming it’s a good find
I’d say. Anything’s better than plain green
Did the anubias melt after some time?
Yes it did eventually
So how's rhe white anubias now??? Ive heard its very hard to keep, 😁
These ones didn’t appear to die, but didn’t appear to grow. Very odd. I moved them to different tanks to see if that makes a difference
Have you ever breed penny wise?
No I have not
How much at petco?
I believe it was roughly 8 dollars
Update your anubias?
It all died :(
That's too bad. I've had mine since August in 3 different tanks, easy to keep
Any update on those anubias as of now?
Yes they did not make it. Even with co2 and high light they wouldn’t survive for me. It’s possible they were a bad batch, but I’m unsure
@@AquatikGuru how can these plants survive with zero chlorophyll?

@@AquatikGuru oh thanks for the info.. I asked becoz most hobbyist had bad luck with this variant of anubias
@epictetus__ yea im noticing that. From what I’ve gathered best success has been planted in soil in a high tech planted setup

Yea I had horrible luck in both scapes.
