ADA Anubias barteri glabra is a medium-sized Anubias that comes from rainforest streams in West Africa. There are several different forms of the variety glabra with more or less elliptic to lanceolate leaves. It is also sold under the names Anubias minima and Anubias “Kruising”.
The variety ADA Anubias barteri glabra is as as undemanding and robust as many other Anubias forms. It grows well as epiphyte on the hardscape as well as fixed to the substrate (don’t bury the rhizome!). Its narrow, lanceolate leaves are an interesting contrast to other, rather broad-leaved Anubias forms.
Anubias barteri var. glabra is widely spread in West Africa, from Guinea to Gabun. The plant forms dense populations on river banks and rocks in and on forest rivulets, where they often share the same habitat with Bolbitis heudelotii and Crinum natans.
The variety glabra really is a collective term for various Anubias barteri forms that grow to different sizes, their leaves oval to lanceolate. They cannot always be clearly discerned from other varieties of the species. A. barteri var. angustifolia with its longish leaf blades, e.g., looks rather similar.
Relatively small ADA Anubias barteri glabra plants have been imported from Cameroun under the synonym Anubias minima, they are still carried under that name in trade.
A. barteri var. glabra is as undemanding as var. nana and can be bound to rocks or driftwood as an epiphyte as the latter, or stuck between rocks, attached to the glass with suckers or planted in the substrate. Then the rhizome should remain uncovered.

Rotala sp. ‘Green’ is very similar to Rotala rotundifolia, but its leaves remain fresh and bright green, even with intensive light. Stems becomes 40-50 cm long and 2-3 cm wide. The plant forms many side shoots willingly and obtains a beautiful, bushy and “hanging” growth. It should be pruned frequently to maintain healthy growth. An ideal starter plant that looks best when planted in large groups.
Just like fish, living plants do best when they are kept in an aquarium that best suits their needs. Selecting live plants that share common water conditions will minimize problems and make it easier for you to maintain and keep your aquarium in tip top shape.

Keep your champion Koi thriving year-round with Saki-Hikari Multi Season R. As pond water temperatures drop, a Koi's metabolism and digestive system naturally slow down, making standard summer diets difficult to process. This revolutionary, highly digestible formula is specifically engineered to provide complete nutrition during cooler weather and seasonal transitions.
What sets the "R" series apart is the inclusion of the proprietary R-Extract—a powerful immunity-boosting blend designed to protect your fish from diseases when they are most vulnerable. Combined with the famous Hikari-Germ™ probiotics, this diet ensures your jumbo Koi maintain their weight, vibrant colors, and pristine health through the winter, setting them up for a flawless spring awakening.
Key Features & Benefits
The "R-Extract" Immunity Boost: Enhanced with a proprietary blend of beneficial yeast and bacterial extracts. This unique additive supercharges your Koi’s natural immune system, helping them fend off pathogens during high-stress temperature fluctuations.
Powered by Hikari-Germ™: Contains living, naturally occurring probiotics that promote optimal nutrient absorption in the gut. Because the fish absorb more nutrients, they produce less waste—keeping your pond water cleaner and reducing the load on your biological filtration.
Cool-Water Digestibility: Built on an easily assimilated wheat-germ base. You can safely continue to feed your Koi this nutrient-dense formula even as water temperatures dip down to 50°F (10°C) without risking digestive blockage.
Maintains Bulk & Color: Unlike standard winter diets that simply keep fish alive, Multi Season R is packed with pure cultured spirulina and high-quality proteins to prevent weight loss and color fading during the colder months.
Large Pellet Size: Specifically formed for mature, jumbo Koi. The large floating pellets are ideal for fish measuring 12 inches (30 cm) or greater, reducing feeding waste.

Feeding Guide
To maximize the benefits of Saki-Hikari Multi Season R, closely monitor your pond's water temperature and adjust your feeding schedule accordingly:
Above 60°F (15°C): Feed 2 to 4 times daily based on the activity level of your Koi.

Below 50°F (10°C): Stop feeding entirely. The Koi's digestive system has largely shut down to prepare for winter dormancy.
Saki-Hikari Multi Season R (Small Pellet) – Premium Koi Diet
Protect your juvenile and smaller Koi during stressful seasonal temperature swings with Saki-Hikari Multi Season R. Younger Koi are especially vulnerable to health issues as water temperatures drop in the fall or fluctuate in the spring.

Achieve championship conformation and robust health with Saki-Hikari Balance R Sinking. Designed as an elite daily maintenance diet, this formulation provides the exact ratio of proteins, carbohydrates, and amino acids your Koi need for steady, perfectly proportioned growth without accumulating unhealthy fat deposits.
This specific sinking pellet formulation is a game-changer for ponds with mixed varieties, timid fish, or heavy surface currents.

Furthermore, the inclusion of the revolutionary R-Extract and Hikari-Germ™ probiotics ensures your prized fish build incredible immune resilience while keeping your pond water crystal clear.
Key Features & Benefits
Sinking Pellet Formulation: Perfect for shy or easily startled Koi that hesitate to feed at the surface. Sinking pellets are also highly recommended for cold-weather feeding when fish naturally prefer to stay near the bottom, and for reducing the risk of sunburn on scaleless (Doitsu) varieties.

Powered by Hikari-Germ™: Contains living, naturally occurring probiotics that multiply in the gut to promote maximum nutrient absorption. Because the fish digest more of the food, they produce significantly less waste, dramatically improving water quality and filter efficiency.
Championship Body Conformation: Free of heavy color enhancers that can sometimes muddy the pristine white (Shiroji) of your Koi. The Balance formula focuses purely on packing on high-quality mass and maintaining the classic, torpedo-shaped body required for show-class fish.
Complete Daily Nutrition: Crafted with premium-grade fish meal and a highly precise blend of vitamins and minerals to serve as the ultimate staple diet for your pond during the warmer months.
