Looked them up and like them! Are they fairly easy to care for? I'm mostly wanting them for 10 gallon feeder tanks with shrimp, snails, crays, and bettas. I'd like to plant my fahakah and GSP tanks but afraid the GSPs would kill them lol my substrate in most tanks is pool filter sand. I don't mind changing substrates in the smaller tanks but wouldn't want to disrupt my puffer tanks.

They are non-rooting plants & do best attached to wood & rocks. Easiest plant ever, to care for! Low-light, too! I have my fahaka tank full of them. Salt will melt them in your GSP tank, though.

Sounds great ( other than the GSPs lol) how much are you wanting to sell and what's the price shipped (in kentucky) first class is fine if they aren't fragile. I wasn't 100% on planting the GSP tank anyway planning on going full salt with them at some point.

What sized tank are you trying to plant & how much do you have to spend?

Well I can't spend a terrible lot this week since I've probably spent around $150 if not more on my fish over the weekend but I'd like to get a good start for my three tens and some for my 125 Fahaka tank..I ordered a small FR box filled with clippings from a girl off Facebook not sure what's in it lol I guess like $15/$20? I'm not sure about plant prices yet since I haven't really gotten into them until now.

Haha ok! I've ordered a plant pack but it doesn't have any of the Anubis in it so I'm defiantly still interested :-)

Anubis are amazing plants, even I could grow them so they are bomb proof
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly
