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.

Jason ★★★★★

This little plant has already started sending out new leaves from the rhizome, and it's thriving in my low-tech tank without any CO2. The size is perfect for the foreground, staying nice and compact as described.

Ava ★★★★★

The rhizome on this one is already over 12 cm and the leaves are a deep, healthy green. It settled into my low-light tank without any fuss, exactly as described.

Jacob R. ★★★★★

Finally, anubias that actually stays compact — mine is barely 6 cm tall after two months. The rhizome is already sprouting new leaves even in my low-light tank. Just the right size for a nano scape.
