How much taller does the Anubias 'Barteri' grow compared to the smaller Anubias 'Nana'? Also which plant does the anubias coffeefolia resemble more, the nana or barteri?
All of the anubias plants are more expensive than other types of aquarium plants at the places I have looked. Is there a reason for this?

my barteri is about 10" tall, my nana is about 6"

the coffeeolia resembles the barteri, and has bigger leaves then the nana.

the only reason i can think the anubis are more expensive is that there slow growers, i assume it would take allot longer to grow a sellable barteri than some sunset hygro.

I had some barteri in the past which grew around 40cm from rhisome to the tip of leaves and each leaf wih a size of my hand. Under ideal conditions most of the anubias species grow to big, that's why I only keep nana at only one of my tanks. Coffeefolia leaves mostly resembles the barteri var barteri but leaves are not flat and darker in color. And yes for the high price, because it is realy a slow grower.
