Anubias Barteri 'Round Leaf'

An Anubias barteri variety with distinctly round, broad leaves on short petioles — a bold, graphic leaf form that reads as the most clearly shaped Anubias in the catalog.

Distinctly Round Broad Leaves Bold Graphic Leaf Form Rhizome Plant — Attach to Hardscape No CO₂ Required Low to Medium Light Shrimp Safe

Anubias Barteri 'Round Leaf' is a variety of Anubias barteri selected for its distinctly round, broad leaf form — leaves that approach a true circle in outline rather than the elongated oval-to-heart shape of standard barteri, carried on short petioles that hold them close to the rhizome and give the plant a compact, low, clearly structured appearance. The round leaf form is the most graphically distinctive of any Anubias in the catalog — each leaf reads as a bold, circular shape from across the tank rather than a general green mass, and a group of Round Leaf on driftwood presents a series of clearly formed, overlapping circles that creates a visual rhythm no other leaf shape in the catalog produces. The leaf surface is smooth, the colour is the same deep, consistent green as all barteri varieties, and care requirements are identical to all other Anubias — attach to hardscape, never bury the rhizome, low to medium light, and consistent liquid fertilisation. Fully safe with all Neocaridina, Caridina, and snails.

What to Expect

Form, Growth & Visual Character

Distinctly round to broadly oval leaves — the clearest leaf shape in the Anubias catalog — the defining quality of Round Leaf versus other barteri varieties is the circularity of the leaf outline — more clearly round than the elongated oval of standard barteri, rounder than the lanceolate form of Minima, and with a different roundness quality than the slightly heart-shaped base that standard barteri sometimes produces. Each leaf is a bold, clearly formed circle or broad oval that the eye resolves as a distinct shape rather than reading as generic green foliage. Short petioles hold leaves close and compact — low, structured profile — unlike some barteri forms that produce longer petioles holding leaves at varying heights and angles, Round Leaf typically produces shorter petioles that hold the round leaves relatively close to the rhizome and to each other. The result is a more compact, lower, clearly structured plant profile — a group of Round Leaf reads as an organised arrangement of overlapping circles rather than a loose, spreading rosette. Smooth leaf surface with deep consistent green — the leaf surface is smooth rather than textured, allowing the clean circular outline of each leaf to read without surface distraction. The deep, rich green is consistent across all mature leaves and holds reliably under the low to medium light conditions that Anubias prefers — it does not pale or yellow with age under adequate fertilisation. Slow growth — each new round leaf a visible addition to the arrangement — Anubias adds one leaf at a time over weeks. Because Round Leaf leaves are distinctly round and individually clearly defined, each new leaf is a visible compositional addition to the arrangement rather than a gradual fill of an indistinct mass. A well-established Round Leaf specimen with 10–15 mature leaves presents as an intentional arrangement of circular forms that strengthens with each new leaf added. Biofilm on smooth round leaf surfaces — visible shrimp grazing — the broad, smooth, clearly bounded upper surfaces of Round Leaf leaves develop biofilm that shrimp graze across. Because the leaves are round and smooth, individual shrimp are completely visible on the leaf surface from the front of the tank — the combination of bold round leaf shape and visible shrimp grazing is particularly appealing in display tanks where shrimp observation is part of the intent.
How to Set It Up

Getting Started

1Attach to broad, horizontally oriented driftwood that suits the round leaf scale — Round Leaf reads most effectively on broad, flat driftwood surfaces where the circular leaves have room to spread out and the individual leaf shapes are visible from the front without crowding. On thin, vertical driftwood the round leaves can overlap excessively and obscure each other — broader hardscape surfaces give each leaf space to read as a distinct form.
2Never bury the rhizome — attach to hardscape only — secure with cotton thread or super glue gel. Position the rhizome horizontally on the hardscape surface with leaves pointing upward and roots descending into hardscape crevices or hanging free. The round leaves should be oriented to face the primary viewing angle.
3Low to medium light — avoid high light that promotes algae on smooth leaves — smooth leaf surfaces under high light are particularly vulnerable to green spot algae accumulation on Anubias. Position Round Leaf in moderate light — naturally shaded by taller background plants or floating plant cover — and allow shrimp to maintain the leaf surfaces naturally.
4Fertilise consistently with balanced liquid formula including iron — two to three doses per week of comprehensive liquid fertiliser. Iron maintains the depth and richness of the green that makes the bold round leaf shape read most clearly. Pale, iron-deficient leaves lose visual impact — the graphic quality of the round form is most effective when the green is deep and saturated.
💡 Bonus Tip

Round Leaf mounted low on a piece of driftwood — with the rhizome attached near the base so leaves spread upward and outward at substrate level — directly in front of or below a group of taller Anubias barteri standard form creates the most natural-looking within-species layered Anubias arrangement. The clearly round leaves of Round Leaf in the foreground position contrast with the elongated oval leaves of standard barteri rising behind, creating a front-to-back depth and leaf-scale variation within a single genus that requires no other plants to read as a complete, composed midground feature.

Policies & Disclaimers

Choosing your portions, using the plant promotion, and knowing what to expect when your plants arrive.

Buy 2 Get 1 Free: add all three

Choose three eligible plant items and add all three to your cart, including the plant you want free. The discount applies automatically at checkout; no code is needed. Adding only two items does not add a third plant for you.

Mix and match eligible varieties or choose multiple quantities of the same eligible plant. The least expensive eligible item is free. For example, with eligible items priced at $5, $8 and $10, the $5 item is discounted and the plant subtotal is $18 before shipping and tax.

The offer repeats for complete qualifying groups: three eligible items give one free, six give two free, and nine give three free. The current offer has no per-order use limit. Items must be included in the promotion; Plant Weights and other non-plant accessories do not qualify.

An item means the sale unit in your cart. One bunch, cup, portion or multipack counts as one item when purchased at quantity one, not one item for every stem, leaf or bulb inside it. Check the listing and selected option for what each unit contains.

Check the discount and quantities in your order summary before paying. Other promotions can affect the final discount; multiple product discounts do not stack on the same item. This is an online checkout offer, not an automatic in-store POS discount.

Plant Promotion Details

Portions, sizes & what you receive

Read this plant’s description and selected option for its sale format, portion size and any stated stem or plant count. A bunch, loose portion, rooted plant, bulb, cup and mounted plant are different products; there is no single size or count that applies to every plant we sell.

A mature height or spread describes potential growth in an aquarium, not the size shipped. Use the advertised purchase portion to plan your order. A full carpet, dense moss-covered surface or established group in a photograph may require several portions and time to grow.

Do not assume that a pot, planting weight, rock, wood, substrate or other display accessory is included unless the listing explicitly says it is. If the received portion appears different from the selected listing, photograph it with its packaging and contact us promptly.

Photos, color & natural variation

Photos illustrate the named plant or variety and its appearance. Living plants vary in leaf size, shape, root development, branching and fullness; a photo of an established specimen is not a measurement of each portion shipped. The product description and selected option remain the reference for your purchase.

Aquarium lighting, camera settings and the growing environment affect perceived color. Red or pink varieties can look different under different lighting and growing conditions. Do not use a photograph alone to select a plant’s care requirements or expect immediate mature coloration.

Above-water growth & the transition underwater

Some aquarium plants can grow with their leaves above water as well as submerged. These growth forms can have different leaf shapes and appearances. New underwater growth may look different from older leaves as the plant adjusts. This explanation does not mean every plant is supplied in the same growth form; follow any specific information in the listing.

Leaf loss or softening after a change of environment is often called melt. Look at the plant as a whole and its growing points rather than judging only one older leaf. Do not assume that a damaged plant is simply transitioning or wait for new growth before reporting an arrival problem.

This is background care information, not a new exclusion from the Live Arrival Guarantee. Arrival damage is assessed under the existing policy.

Planting: match the method to the plant

For stem plants, separate the stems and plant with room between them. For rosette plants, position the roots in the substrate without burying the crown. Remove transport bindings and growing material carefully where appropriate.

For Anubias and Java fern, keep the rhizome exposed rather than burying it. Moss can be divided into smaller portions and attached to suitable hardscape. Floating plants belong at the surface. Bulbs and tubers need species-specific planting depth; do not assume every type should be fully buried.

Keep plants damp while working. Follow the individual listing for placement and care, especially when a plant has unusual requirements. These are planting tips, not additional conditions for a claim.

Growth, tank conditions & choosing companions

Plan for the plant’s mature size, available light and the space it will occupy. A background stem plant, slow-growing rhizome plant and floating plant serve different roles; a purchase portion does not instantly create a finished aquascape.

Use the listing’s guidance on light, nutrients and carbon dioxide rather than assuming every plant needs the same setup. Growth rate and final appearance depend on aquarium conditions and maintenance. More light alone is not a substitute for a balanced setup.

Consider animals that dig, uproot or eat plants before choosing placement. Floating growth can shade plants below it, and fast-growing plants may need thinning. Observe new growth and make gradual, species-appropriate adjustments.

Hitchhikers & introducing plants

Our existing policy does not guarantee pest-free arrival. Plants can carry tiny organisms or eggs, including snail eggs, despite inspection. Inspect new plants before introduction, and consider separate observation or quarantine to protect an established aquarium.

Do not assume a plant is sterile, pesticide-free or safe for a particular treatment unless the listing explicitly provides that information. Sensitive leaves, mosses and roots can respond differently to dips. Research the exact plant and any treatment before using it; do not apply an animal medication or a strong dip by default.

Arrival problems: document and contact us promptly

For damaged or dead plants, email support@superiorshrimpaquatics.com within two hours of the carrier’s recorded delivery time. Use the email address on the order and include all arrival concerns in your first message.

Send clear photographs of the affected plants and their packaging, with the shipping label or invoice visible for identification. Photograph packaging damage before unpacking or discarding materials, and consult the full guarantee’s documentation instructions. Keep the original photos.

The current guarantee covers aquatic plants but excludes promotional or free items. That existing exclusion also matters when ordering a free promotional plant. Claims and available resolutions are assessed under the full policy; this tab does not expand or reduce coverage.

Live Arrival Guarantee
