Anubias barteri var. nana is a small, attractive plant which thrives in all conditions. It originates from Cameroon and will reach 5-10 cm height. The rhizome will be 10-15 cm or more. It grows slowly, and the leaves survive for several years, giving slow-growing algae the chance to become established. The best result is achieved by planting on a stone or tree root. Fishing line can be used to attach the plant until it gains a hold. If planted on the bottom, the rhizome must not be covered because it tends to rot. It flowers frequently under water. It is not eaten by herbivorous fish.

For a long time there has a myth been going around that anubias (when pruned or cut) would be poisonous to shrimp and other inverts. This is NOT true and anubias are perfect plants for your shrimp tank and 100% safe.

Alexander I. ★★★★★

Planted it in a low-light corner of the tank, and it's already sending out new leaves along the short rhizome. The compact size is perfect for filling in the foreground without taking over.

Joseph ★★★★★

The rhizome arrived healthy and is already sending out new green leaves in my low-light tank. It’s staying compact around 7 cm tall, just as expected. Perfect for filling in a small foreground spot without taking over.

Timothy ★★★★★

It's been a few weeks and this little Anubias is already sending out a new leaf from the rhizome, even in my low-light tank. The 5-10 cm height is perfect for the foreground, and the roots are gripping the driftwood nicely.
