Anubias barteri 'Petite' is one of the smallest Anubias varieties available, producing leaves just 10–20mm in length on a plant that stays under 5cm tall. That compact footprint makes it ideal for foreground and midground placement in nano tanks and aquascapes where full-sized Anubias would quickly dominate.
Like all Anubias, it's undemanding: no CO2, tolerant of low light, and attached to hardscape rather than planted into substrate. Growth is slow but the plant branches naturally over time, building into a neat dense cluster that looks increasingly impressive the longer it's left undisturbed. Shrimp in particular are drawn to it, grazing constantly on the biofilm that develops across the broad leaves.
Remove from the pot and attach the rhizome to a small stone or piece of wood. Do not bury the rhizome.
You’ll receive a healthy, rooted plant in a pot, similar to those shown. Each one is hand-checked before dispatch.

Customers praised this aquarium plant for being healthy, versatile, and "hard to kill." Many noted excellent packaging and fast delivery. The plant is ideal for nano tanks and small spaces, with customers saying it's "perfect" and "beautiful." Some mentioned it's pricier than competitors, though quality remains high.
I have had various plants from aqua essentials from potted plants to cultures and they have all been fantastic there has been hardly any melt and they're all bounce back around the quickly granted I use CO2 and have strong lighting but you cannot argue with the quality not that brown leaf insight. Shapes sizes colours and planting varieties well recommended I wouldn't use any other website great packaging to
Great
A lovely plant. Very healthy. Quick delivery. A very helpful seller. Recommended.
Great little plant. Delivered on time and in good order
These came in a plant starter kit...been in the tank almost a week and are doing good
Very good quality!
Great quality plants ...fast delivery...very will packaged look fabulous in my aquarium set up
Very expensive but it was first class but then it is Anubias...bullet proof...over £3 dearer than you can get it from almost all other shops...which I have done and they were just as good.
Absolutely beautiful. I bought 2. Well packaged and really healthy. Best supplier of plants that I've found. I will definitely buy frim here again.
Arrived in excellent condition, the rhizome was large enough and had so many leaves that I could comfortably split it into three. It has taken very well to the tank
Great little plant, very versatile and excellent for filling in small spaces, plant was nice and healthy and continues to thrive.
Excellent specimen. Was very small, which was exactly what I wanted to fill a gap in my aquascape.
Very healthy plant
Great looking plant, lots of leaves.
A lovely little plant as normal arrived in good condition and well packed. Glued to a pot in my tank. Looks good
The quality of the plant was perfect and healthy, with enough growth in each pot to get about three portions or more. The leaf size on average between 1-2 cm in length.
great quality, easy to grow, hard to kill, perfect for nano tanks
I ordered two of these lovely little plants and they arrived in very good condition. I have glued them on to a small branch which rests on the bottom of the aquarium and it looks very effective - very pleased with them.
Got 8 anubias for my ten gallon fry tank picked these plants because they are slow growing and will not over grow in this tank and give colour and interest to the tank have had many types of plants many plants from aquaessentials for my tanks all being highly successful and would highly recomend them to anybody first class service
Lovely little Anubias. Good strong healthy plant.
These lovely little plants arrived as usual in pristine condition, but as I am upsizing to a much bigger deeper tank I think that I might have given them a bit of a shock being as they are grown emersed as opposed to immersed and pretty soon they started to suffer. I have since moved them to a hospital tank and they are recovering. Thoughts on this please.
Lovely little plant. Looks much nicer in real life and might be small for the price but was perfect for the end of a small branch on some wood and looks great next to normal Abubias.
Lovely plant, arrived in good shape. Fast delivery. I will definitely buy from your store again.
Arrived in excellent condition, I split it into 3 sections to attach to some redwood root and it looks perfect
Very small — leaves are just 10–20mm in length and the plant stays under 5cm tall. One of the smallest Anubias varieties and ideal for nano aquascapes.
Attach the rhizome to a small stone or piece of wood using thread or aquarium-safe superglue. Do not bury the rhizome — this causes rot.
Neither. It is undemanding on both counts and grows well under standard aquarium lighting with no CO2.
Yes, slowly. The rhizome branches and the plant gradually builds into dense clusters, making it effective as a foreground plant once fully established.
Absolutely. Shrimp often prefer tanks with Anubias as the broad leaves develop biofilm they graze on continuously.
