Anubias on Mini Lava Rock

Anubias pre-attached to mini lava rock — instant decor

£11.99

    Description

    Anubias barteri nana is pre-attached to a small piece of natural lava rock, creating a compact and instantly ready planted feature for any aquarium. Lava rock is a porous, lightweight volcanic material with a dark, rough surface texture that provides excellent anchorage for the Anubias rhizome and creates a natural-looking planted rock feature that sits securely on the aquarium floor.

    Anubias nana is one of the easiest aquarium plants available. It grows in low to medium light without CO2 injection and is tolerant of a wide range of water temperatures, hardness, and pH. Growth is slow but the plant is extremely long-lived — once established on the lava rock it requires very little ongoing attention.

    The plant is pre-attached to the lava rock so no further attachment is needed — simply rinse and place in the aquarium. The lava rock sinks immediately without weighting and can be placed anywhere in the tank and moved as needed. An effective and low-maintenance planted feature for aquariums from 20 litres upward.

    The plant is good and looks very healthy but when it arrived it wasn’t attached to the rock. As a beginner I attempted this myself but this hasn’t been to successful as I noticed it came loose this morning. I’m sure with practice I’ll get it to stay but this was annoying.

    Product FAQs

    Helpful details before you buy.

    Does the Anubias need to be planted in substrate?

    No — the rhizome is already attached to the lava rock. Just place it wherever you want in the tank. It can be moved at any time without disturbing your substrate.

    Does it need CO2 or specialist lighting?

    No — Anubias nana is one of the most low-tech plants available and grows under standard aquarium lighting without CO2.

    Will the plant grow further over the rock?

    Yes, slowly. The rhizome will continue to grow along the lava rock surface over time, increasing its coverage.

    Is lava rock safe for fish and shrimp?

    Yes — lava rock is aquarium-safe and does not affect water chemistry significantly. It is a popular aquarium material that provides additional surface area for beneficial bacteria.

    What tank size does it suit?

    It works from 20 litres upward in any position — foreground, midground, or tucked into hardscape layouts.
