Petite anubias is a great little plant but it grows painfully slow. It's taken a year and a half to get this bunch from three starter plants. I've gave away a few dozen though.

Nice Anubias. How long do you keep your lights on each day? Do you have trouble with algae trying to cover the leaves? I had to reduce my lighting to just four hours per day in order to keep the leaves free of algae. They only put out a new leaf every 3 to 4 weeks. Yours must be growing much faster that that.
 
Until last week they were in a US 75g with 324w of HO T5 lighting but I moved them because there just isn't room for them in that tank. I only run full beam for 5 hours on the high light and go heavy with CO2 and dosing so algae isn't a problem.

They are now in a US 55g tank with 2wpg so it will be interesting to see what the growth rate is.
