Anubias barteri nana
Anubias barteri var. nana, commonly known as Anubias Nana, is one of the most popular and versatile aquarium plants. This dwarf variety of Anubias is prized for its compact size, making it ideal for nano tanks, foreground placements, or as an accent in larger aquascapes. Its dark green, glossy leaves create a beautiful contrast with other plants, and its slow growth rate makes it perfect for low-maintenance setups.
Anubias Nana is incredibly hardy, thriving in a wide range of water conditions, including low light and without the need for CO₂ injection. Like all Anubias species, it should be attached to driftwood or rocks, as burying its rhizome can lead to rot.
Perfect for beginner and advanced aquascapers alike, it’s an essential addition for natural-style or planted aquariums.
