Burying the rhizome can cause rot, so careful placement is essential. With a height range of 10–18 inches, Anubias Var King is perfect as a centerpiece plant in midground or background zones of the aquarium, providing natural shelter for fish and creating depth in aquascaping layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1688\" data-end=\"1721\"\u003eLighting and Water Parameters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1723\" data-end=\"2122\"\u003eAnubias VarKing grows well under low-to-moderate lighting conditions.

The plant does not require supplemental CO2, making it ideal for low-tech aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"2124\" data-end=\"2153\"\u003eHardiness and Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2155\" data-end=\"2455\"\u003eAnubias VarKing is hardy, slow-growing, and low maintenance, making it an excellent choice for all types of freshwater aquariums.
