Anubias barteri ‘Petite’
Anubias barteri ‘Petite’ is a charming, compact variety of the Anubias family that thrives in small aquariums and nano tanks. This petite version retains all the hardiness of the larger Anubias species but in a much smaller form, making it perfect for tight spaces and foreground or midground planting.
Its small, dark green, heart-shaped leaves create a beautiful contrast against other plants and hardscape. Anubias ‘Petite’ is an extremely slow grower, requiring minimal maintenance, and it flourishes in low light and without CO₂ supplementation. As with other Anubias, the rhizome should be attached to rocks or wood to avoid rot.
Anubias ‘Petite’ is ideal for those looking to add a touch of lush greenery to their aquascape without overwhelming the space.
