Tank size isn't the main factor here. Anubias thrive in low light and don't need much space. Your issue is likely nutrient related. Test your water for nitrates and phosphates. If they're low, dose a comprehensive liquid fertilizer. Sand alone won't cut it.


I agree. I'd also check your KH and ...
