    Description

    Anubias minima — also classified as Anubias barteri var. glabra — is a narrow-leaved Anubias with leaves typically around 5cm in nursery conditions, though they can grow considerably longer underwater given time and the right environment. The slender leaf form gives it a more delicate appearance than the broader barteri varieties.

    It is one of the easiest and most low-maintenance plants in the hobby: no CO2, happy in low light, and attached to hardscape rather than planted in substrate. As with all Anubias, it is slow growing, very hardy, and left entirely alone by virtually all fish.

    Remove from the pot and fix the rhizome to wood or rock using thread or aquarium-safe superglue. Do not bury the rhizome.

    Great epiphyte plant

    What a neat plant the look of a cryptocorne but an anubias. Great for attaching to driftwood or other hardscape
