AD had coffeefolia for $8 each. Plants had about 4-6 leaves. I think they had 6 plants on March 1.

Cheers.

Right, but is it smaller than barteri when grown out? if not, I'll have to start fguring out something else. I love the look of anubias along those rock lines, but full sized barteri is going to get awfully big awfully fast.

Coffeefolia is indeed smaller than barteri. It can still become a decent sized plant, but doesn't seem to have as big of stems or leaves as standard barteri. Plus, it's a nicer darker green. :-)

So does nana when rich substrate planted. If your is in Sean's Miracle Mud, I would expect it to be only slightly smaller than barteri. Ditto for coffefolia.

Coffeefolia should stay a little shorter than barteri, roughly 2/3 the height. Nana is shorter still. Petite stays low. Have not seen the Gold variety.

Coffeefolia is my favorite!

(almost sounds like I know what i'm talking about, huh :mrgreen: )

I would rank the gold as smaller than regular nana.
