    Can fresh water anubis plants continue growing out of the water?

    are there any additional things to help them grow out of the water.
    i have some plants and they are taller than my tanks and have broken through the surface should i raise my light and go open topped to let them continue to grow??

    thanks

    Freshwater anubias nana plants can grow out of water and be fine, they are extremely hardy but slow growing.

    Yeah you should be fine as long as the roots are still under water.
