Live Aquarium Plant, Anubias Nana Petite for Low-Light Nano Tanks, Shrimp Tanks and Aquascapes
Add compact living greenery to a freshwater layout with Anubias barteri Nana Petite, a miniature rhizome aquarium plant known for dense small leaves and very slow growth. Its scale works well in nano aquariums, shrimp tanks, betta setups and detailed foreground or midground aquascapes.
The plant tolerates low to moderate light and does not require added carbon dioxide. Attach the rhizome to rock or driftwood, or keep it exposed above the substrate to avoid rot. Bare-root and potted multipacks provide options for a single accent or a repeated planting scheme.
Key Features
- Miniature dense leaves add texture without overwhelming a small layout.
