Description

Anubias Nana: The Hardy, Lush Foreground Plant for Your Aquarium

Introduce vibrant green foliage and unparalleled hardiness to your aquatic display with the beloved Anubias Nana. Perfect for beginners and seasoned aquarists alike!

Overview

The Anubias Nana is a dwarf variety of *Anubias barteri*, featuring thick, dark green, oval-shaped leaves on a creeping rhizome. This slow-growing plant adds a natural, robust aesthetic to your aquarium and is highly resilient. Its tough leaves are generally unpalatable to herbivorous fish, making it an excellent choice for community tanks.

Care Level

Considered one of the easiest aquatic plants to care for, Anubias Nana is perfect for beginners. It thrives with minimal maintenance and adapts to a wide range of water conditions. Its slow growth rate also means less frequent trimming is required.

Tank Essentials

Anubias Nana prefers to be attached to hardscape like rocks or driftwood, never burying its rhizome in the substrate, as this can lead to rot. While adaptable, it thrives in temperatures between 22-28°C and a pH range of 6.0-7.5. No specific minimum tank size is required, but stable water parameters are key.

Diet

Anubias Nana is a low-demanding plant regarding nutrients. It primarily absorbs nutrients from the water column and will benefit from occasional liquid fertilization. CO2 injection is not strictly necessary but can promote faster growth.
