Anubias Nana

Anubias nana is a hardy, slow-growing freshwater aquarium plant known for its dark green, leathery leaves and epiphyte growth habit. It thrives in low-to-medium light conditions, with a water temperature of 22–28°C (72–82°F) and a pH range of 6.0–7.5. An important care tip: the rhizome must never be buried.

Key Care Facts

• Difficulty:
  Very easy, ideal for beginners.

• Placement:
  Attach to driftwood or rocks; do not bury the thick horizontal stem (rhizome) in sand or gravel.

• Lighting:
  Low to moderate light; high light may cause algae to coat the slow-growing leaves.

• CO2/Fertilizers:
  Not required, though liquid fertilizers or CO2 can boost growth.

• Fish Safety:
  Safe for all freshwater fish and shrimp. Its tough leaves resist herbivorous species like cichlids and goldfish.
