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.

Daniel E. ★★★★★

Arrived with the rhizome intact and already showing new white root tips. It's been in my low-light tank for two weeks and hasn't melted at all, exactly the slow-growing, hardy plant I needed for the foreground.

Kevin ★★★★★

The rhizome was already about 12 cm long, so I could easily split it into two nice clumps for my tank. It's been three weeks and the leaves are a deep, healthy green even under my basic light.

David S. ★★★★★

Planted this in a low-light corner of my tank and it's already sending out new leaves from the rhizome. The height stays compact at around 5-8 cm, perfect for the foreground.
