The Anubias is a bit different.All of these plants are in the high light area of the scape with the exception of the Anubias
Looks like diatoms which are common in new setups - usually appearing at around 2-6weeks
Some scapes seem much more prone to diatoms than others, it’s usually a mild to moderate, short lived algae, but can occasionally be severe and determined
Looks like diatoms have you rubbed the leaves through your fingers see if it comes off I'm going through it with my iwagumi at the moment just be patient and increase water changes
If the Anubias <"really is all white">? It will <"eventually die, whatever you do">, it just doesn't have any chlorophyll
If it has a trace of chlorophyll it will need more light. My suspicion would be that it really doesn't have any chlorophyll.It does show some green verigation in the picture. But it didn't come with any on it
Just another 'variegata' sport of an Anubias barteri variation.
They are usually not stable (=going back to green, when growing on) and the more white/yellow, the less prolific growers (=lack of capability to do photosynthesis) . Most such shoots are taken from all green plants, supporting these white parts - when broken off, these all white/yellow parts usually starve to death (unless they switch back to green form).
cheers DarrelI've had really a lot of those variegata-forms of Anubias through the years - some spotted leaves, some all white leaves, some pure white and some yellowish white. They show up relatively often in production. I collect some of the more interesting looking specimens and check how well they grow on. To present day, I really have not found a single one, that have proven worthy of going into commercial production.
I'm pretty sure the one Tom was promoting was very much like the 'Stardust'- which do have some green in the leaves. It does not make it a prolific grower, but it does make it possible to grow it on.Tom Barr was promoting a white Anubias some while back, maybe worth tracking down aquarium etc conditions
