I have previously had some Anabias barteri var. 'marble'. Didn't give them any special care over the regular species and they were fine for quite a while. However, I recall that over a long period of time, the new leaves were not as "marbled" as before. Perhaps this might be something you want to take note off.

By the way, got my specimen from Lim Chu Kang plant farms.

Cheers,

i had the marbled version for a while.. think i sold it already. 'Stardust' is sooooo hard to comeby... even if you do, it's going to be quite $$$

I was at Oriental aquarium a few weeks back and they said both varieties are unstable and they don't produce them anymore.

**Quixotic** · 17th Feb 2007, 23:26

Unstable as in? Difficult to cultivate, or they lose some traits after growing for some time?

**valice** · 19th Feb 2007, 14:27

The variation most likely could be due to some mutation of the genes? And they couldn't really reproduce the mutation consistently I guess.
