Anubias In Brackish Water..?

[Eclecticoldsod]

My favorite plant is Anubias [in all its varieties]. Attached to bogwood or rocks it grows happily in all my freshwater tanks (and much faster than its reputation would suggest).
I would love to grow it in my soon-to-be-set-up brackish water tank (SG 1.004/5) for a F8P and some BBGs. What are the chances of it surviving? Would it thrive, just hang on to life, or curl up its toes and die?

I had the same in my F8 tank and they went all brown and died sadly. My bogwood also dsintegrrated in the low end brackish water, whereas it is fine again in freshwater

Doesn't mean to say it can't be done, just that I didn't manage it. ALl my vallis died off too, but I know my lighting wasn't sufficient for them. The java fern went brown too

Figure-8s will be fine at SG 1.003, particularly if you ensure pH is stable around 7.5 and nitrates are low. At that level, Anubias spp. should thrive.
