Is Gillet's Anubias a Good Plant for Flower Stingray?

Gillet's Anubias fits inside the water range normally used for Flower Stingray. The shared window is about 24 to 28 °C, pH 6 to 7.5, and 3 to 12 dGH, which gives you enough room to aim for stable middle-ground conditions.

Both do best with moderate flow, so circulation does not need to be split into competing zones.

Both are suited to freshwater, so salinity does not add an extra planning problem.

Flower Stingray can still be rough on plants, but this pairing becomes more realistic when the plant is anchored well and used as part of a larger layout.

Gillet's Anubias has moderate cover density, high uproot resistance, and tough / leathery leaves. It can also help with breaking up sight lines, grazing surfaces, and spawning sites.

Gillet's Anubias is less tempting than softer, more palatable plants for known nibblers.

The point to watch is flower Stingray may still investigate the plant, but the tougher foliage gives it a better chance.

Gillet's Anubias is a rhizome / epiphyte plant usually used midground, background, and attached to hardscape.

Flower Stingray is an oddball fish, so the pairing works best when the planting style supports how that fish uses space and cover.

Gillet's Anubias reaches about 40 cm tall by 30 cm wide and is usually attached / wedged to hardscape with no substrate required. That makes placement and anchoring more important than simply adding a larger bunch of stems or leaves.

In this pairing, the useful plant values are line-of-sight breaks, grazing surfaces, and spawning sites. Place it where Flower Stingray can actually use that structure instead of hiding the plant where it cannot do much.

This is a sensible planted-tank choice for Flower Stingray, especially when you want the plant to do real work as cover, sight-line structure, or habitat detail.

The decision should center on this signal: Flower Stingray may still investigate the plant, but the tougher foliage gives it a better chance.
