    Description

    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.

    Product FAQs

    Helpful details before you buy.

    How small is Anubias barteri Petite?

    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.

    How do I attach Anubias Petite?

    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.

    Does Anubias Petite need CO2 or bright light?

    Neither. It is undemanding on both counts and grows well under standard aquarium lighting with no CO2.

    Will Anubias Petite spread over time?

    Yes, slowly. The rhizome branches and the plant gradually builds into dense clusters, making it effective as a foreground plant once fully established.

    Is it safe for shrimp?

    Absolutely. Shrimp often prefer tanks with Anubias as the broad leaves develop biofilm they graze on continuously.
