Anubias barteri var. nana on Rock

Anubias barteri var. nana is one of the most popular and resilient aquatic plants, ideal for both beginners and experienced aquascapers. With its compact size, deep green, leathery leaves, and slow growth rate, it is perfect for creating a lush and natural look in any freshwater aquarium. This low-maintenance plant thrives in low to moderate lighting and does not require CO₂ supplementation, making it an excellent choice for low-tech setups.

Unlike rooted plants, Anubias nana is best when attached to driftwood, rocks, or other hardscape elements, as burying the rhizome in the substrate can cause it to rot. Thanks to its thick, durable leaves, it is highly resistant to herbivorous fish, including cichlids, and provides excellent hiding spots for shrimp and small fish.

Key Features:

• Light Requirements: Low to moderate – thrives in various lighting conditions
  
• Growth Rate: Slow-growing, minimal trimming required
