Anubias nana is a popular and hardy aquatic plant often used in freshwater aquariums. It is a member of the Araceae family and is native to West Africa, particularly Cameroon and Nigeria. Anubias nana is favored by aquarium enthusiasts for its attractive appearance and ease of care.
Key characteristics of Anubias nana:
Size: Anubias nana is a relatively small aquatic plant, with leaves typically growing to be 5-10 centimeters (2-4 inches) long.
Leaf Shape: The leaves of Anubias nana are oval or lance-shaped and are typically dark green. They have a glossy appearance, which adds to their aesthetic appeal.
Growth Habit: Anubias nana is a slow-growing plant that can thrive both submerged in water and partially above the waterline. It can be attached to rocks, driftwood, or other aquarium decorations, making it a popular choice for aquascaping.
Lighting: This plant is not demanding when it comes to lighting requirements. It can tolerate low to moderate light levels in the aquarium.
Water Parameters: Anubias nana prefers stable water conditions. It does well in a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5 and a water temperature of 72-82°F (22-28°C). It's also a good choice for aquariums with lower light levels.
Propagation: Anubias nana can be propagated through rhizome division. To do this, you can separate the plant into smaller sections, making sure each section has a healthy portion of the rhizome attached. These sections can then be attached to new surfaces in the aquarium.
Compatibility: Anubias nana is compatible with a wide range of freshwater fish and other aquatic creatures. It is also known for being relatively unpalatable to herbivorous fish, which helps it to thrive in a community aquarium.
Maintenance: This plant is low-maintenance and generally resistant to diseases and algae. However, it may benefit from occasional nutrient supplementation in the form of liquid fertilizers or root tabs.
Anubias nana is a versatile and visually appealing addition to freshwater aquariums, making it a favorite among both beginners and experienced aquarists. Its ability to grow in low-light conditions and its hardy nature make it a reliable choice for those looking to add live plants to their aquarium setup.

All replacements are considered final and we will not replace the replacement.
Please be aware that our Live Arrival Guarantee is subject to certain conditions. Specifically, the guarantee will not be applicable in cases where the package is marked as 'invalid address', 'undeliverable' or is 'returned to sender.' This includes situations such as a vacant delivery address, a missing apartment number, or any other issues that prevent the postal service from delivering your package.
It is crucial to provide accurate and complete shipping information to ensure the successful delivery of your order and the applicability of the Live Arrival Guarantee.
Please keep in mind that Live Arrival Guarantee only guarantees that live stocks will be alive upon arrival. We cannot guarantee that you will continue to have success with them. Many factors, including the aquarium environment, water quality, nutrient, temperature, lighting, filter, and CO2 system, can contribute to the failure to grow live plants and live animals.
Even though our plants are very clean, but we can't guarantee they will be 100% pest-free because we cannot be responsible for your aquarium. Please use it at your own risk. We recommended all customers rinse the plants with clean water and quarantine them before use.
However, plants in tissue culture will be 100% free from pests, algae and never have been contacting with any aquarium.
Please review your state's regulations on restricted plants, as we are committed to not shipping plants that are restricted in your area. Do not release any plants into the wild or waterways, as this can harm local ecosystems by introducing invasive species.
