Has anyone ever seen this before?

That means the plant is happy. Anubias flowers when water parameters are good.

All my anubia nana's flower quite regularly. Right now I actually have 2 flowers on one plant, which I've never had before.

Ya see this is the very first time that it has ever done this. I'm excited to see what it's going to look like

So the flower won't go all the way to the top? It opens up under water?

@rivercats that is awesome !!!!!

 

[Rivercats]

Yes, they flower underwater. Thank Bkiggy, I am actually getting more flowering than before since I lowered my nitrates and upped my phosphates.

 

[bkiggy]

Is there a test kit for phosphates ??

 

[Rivercats]

I use the API phosphate test kit and run my tank at 10ppm nitrates and 1-1.5ppm phosphates. This also allows for better color in my non-green plants.

 

[Philip99]

Ya I've been meaning to get a test kit for phosphates considering that I only have the API master test kit
