Schismatoglottis prietoi can resemble Anubias, wit 3-8 cm long, eliptic leaves. Growth is faster, though, and it grows best planted in the bottom layer, where it willingly produces runners. 

It is an undemanding and easy plant, thriving very well in most aquaria, even in very poor light. Schismatoglottis prietoi naturally grows in rivers of the Phillipines, where it often appears in large, dense groups.
