Congensis at nano scale. Anubias congensis 'Mini' keeps the long, narrow, lance-shaped leaf that makes the species distinctive — upright and pointed where most Anubias are broad and rounded — but stops at 4–6 inches instead of towering over a small tank.

Grower’s Notes
- Leaf shape does the work here. Next to nana or barteri, the narrow upright leaf gives vertical line in a genus that mostly gives mass — useful when a scape has plenty of Anubias already and needs a different silhouette.
- Never bury the rhizome. Glue or tie it down; roots can enter substrate, the rhizome cannot.
- Thick waxy leaves resist algae and resist nibbling, which is why Anubias survives in tanks with cichlids and large fish.
- Divide with a clean blade, keeping at least three leaves and some roots per section.
- Slow growth means damaged leaves stay damaged — trim old leaves at the rhizome rather than waiting.

Customers praised this hardy aquarium plant for arriving "healthy and vibrant" with "deep green leaves" and excellent packaging. Most reviewers noted the plant's quality and algae-free condition. Some mentioned it was "smaller than expected." One customer reported a DOA plant with discolored rhizome. Shoppers appreciate its suitability for nano tanks and fern-like appearance.

- Plants were all perfectly healthy and well packaged. Haven't shown signs of shock.

I was so impressed with the plant quality. I expected wilted, melting, poor adjusting plants (because that’s usually my experience buying in the summer time and online) but these plants were all perfectly healthy and well packaged. I was most impressed by the bundle of 30 hair grass plugs and they arrived so healthy and green. They haven’t shown signs of shock since planting either these plants feel extra hardy. Thank you! I’ll be buying plants here from now on.

Most of my plants are from APF, a few are from various sellers on Etsy and LRB Aquatics, they've all done well thus far. I don't like being asked for a review a few days after they arrive when I haven't really had a chance to evaluate them. I also don't like being asked for a tip when I order, I feel like you should pay your staff a living wage, how do I even know if staff are receiving the tip, and it makes no sense to tip before I receive anything, it makes me think if I don't I'll receive crappy plants, I tip a waiter after my meal, otherwise what's their incentive? Tipping has gotten way out of hand, pay your workers. Anyway, if anyone is interested I have UNS aquariums with twinstar lights that I really like and the new app is fantastic, just what your need, not all the **** that your don't, I build my own stands, I run a modified version of dirted/Walstad systems, by which I mean I use a tidal hob filter on very low flow, NO CO2, and a crazy mixture of potting soil and other stuff that I put together from multiple YouTube videos, all my tanks have houseplants growing out of them, I like how they look and they eat excess nutrients like crazy, I use remineralized RO water with quarterly water changes and service my filter at the same time, I don't ever check my parameters, my fish come primarily from aquabid and Dan's, hope that helps... Nice plants that grow, haven't had any epic fails yet, some do better than others, but that's life, right? It's all an experiment.

This plant arrived healthy and is quite beautiful. I couldn't have hoped for more. It's a great addition to my collection of anubias. Thank you!
K
Plants look nice, but a little smaller than I thought they might be. Came as 2 plants in 1 pot. Will probably buy more to expand the look!
M
Delivered 6/29 with 7 other plants but this one didn't pull through for me. Straight from packaging I could tell that it was going to have issues. Leaves were already pulling at the stem base and the rhizome was looking discolored I held out hope until this morning 7/9 and them pitched
W
This was the first time that I ordered from your company. Was very pleased with the plants when they arrived and intend to use you again soon.
T
Was smaller than i expected but in great condition
B
The Anubia arived in perfect condition, many leaves, very beautiful. The leaves and risome are completely free of algae.
P
Came in healthy and vibrant in color. Pretty hardy plant and looks great in a nano scape as a background or midground plant
M
Plants arrived fresh and healthy!
S
I think I’ve placed eight or more orders with you. The plants are always vibrant and healthy. The Congensis had very robust growth and root development. Never disappointed!
M
Look really cool. All arrived healthy and deep green
B
Wow! The plants arrived and truly looked EXACTLY like the photo above of the guy holding it in his hand. Very healthy and hardy. Not to mention, super, well-packaged with care. And SUPER quick delivery. Super clean and no snails! Will definitely order from APF again. No complaints.
K
Still alive and well after a month with no losses!
A
Never had these before. Arrived perfectly!
M
Plant looks healthy, decent size, many nice shiny leaves
P
The plant came in in great shape. I am pleased with APF's speed and packing practices.
K
Purchased a potted A. congensis and there were two super health and beefy rhizomes in the pot. Each one was two inches long with a dozen deep green leaves and long, strong roots. Very pleased. If these don't do well, it'll be my fault, not APF's.
S
These guys arrived with two separate plants and were a gorgeous green color! They’ve done great so far and are an excellent Anubias for my aquascaped nano tank.
F
Fantastic size, packaging and plants overall. Definitely will buy again.
L
Came in awesome condition. Can’t wait to watch it grow!
M
What if anubias looked more like a fern? You'd get anubias congensis. With the leaves growing vertically, I can fit more plants in my nano tank without shading out nearby plants. My pot had a single rhizome.
B
Another gorgeous plant for my discus tank. I love the shape of the leaves which provide a pleasant contrast to the more rounded leaves of the other anubias in the tank of mine. Excellent product!
S
My first order from APF was a success. I love this lighter, more stream-lined variety and it looks great in the tank. All 5 were consistent in size and quality. Beautifully packed for shipping, which is a definite bonus!!
