Description
Anubias barteri nana 'Gold' is a striking cultivar of the popular nana variety, producing compact leaves with a warm yellow-green to golden tone that stands out clearly against the darker greens of most aquarium plants. Attached here to a natural root or branching wood piece, it makes an immediate visual impact as a planted feature in any aquarium layout from small to large.
Care is just as easy as standard Anubias nana. It grows in low to medium light without CO2 and is tolerant of a wide range of water conditions. The golden colouration is genetic rather than a sign of stress — it remains consistent across all light levels, though slightly brighter light tends to intensify the tone. Growth is slow and the plant is very long-lived.
The plant is pre-attached to the root piece so no further planting or attachment is needed — just rinse and place. Never bury the rhizome in substrate. The root is heavy enough to sit securely in the aquarium and the Anubias Gold continues to grow and spread along it over time, developing its coverage naturally.
Plant Sizes
The image of the plant you'll be receiving is just an example of what you can expect. Each plant is unique and may vary in size and shape, so it won't be an exact match to the photo. If we provide a size guide, keep in mind that it's just an estimate and that plants can vary in size depending on the time of year.

Is the golden colour natural or a sign of poor health?
It is entirely natural — Anubias nana Gold is a cultivar bred for its warm yellow-green leaf colour. It is healthy and the colour is stable across all light conditions.
Does it need CO2?
No — like all Anubias it grows without CO2 in low to medium light.
Do I need to do anything when it arrives?
No — the plant is already attached to the root piece. Just rinse and place it in your aquarium.
How fast does it grow?
Anubias is a slow grower, typically producing one or two new leaves per month. This means very little maintenance and the shape is largely self-maintaining.
Is it safe for shrimp and community fish?
Yes, fully. Anubias leaves are tough and generally ignored by most fish, and shrimp love grazing on the biofilm that forms on the broad leaf surfaces.
