I'm looking at the anubias gigantea and I think it looks quite nice. I'm considering it for my new tank.
Does anyone else have it?

How quickly does it grow?

Could you share pics of yours? (if you have it obviously)

Any advice?

The tank will be covered by glass sliding panels, so it won't be growing out of the tank. I will consider removing the covers though if it looks spectacular that way
 
I have some I think hard to tell since I got it from a friend but it looks like it I will get you pics in the morning but sadly it's not very pretty right now because of a snail outbreak they love the stuff and they have really messed it up :(
Anyways if given the right light and fertilizer it grows fast. Before moving it into my 90 gal I had it in a 20 gal long planted tank with a dirt base and near a window that got good sunlight it was only about 4 inches tall when I put it in and by the time I took it out 3 months later it was well over a foot and a half tall it stuck out of the top of the tank and just kept growing.
When I moved it into the 90 gal I broke it up into 3 plants because it was so big.
Hey I just found an older pic it's the large plants with the holes in them lol.
