Description
Anubias on driftwood is one of our most popular ready-made aquascaping pieces — and it's easy to see why. Each one arrives with live Anubias already secured to a piece of natural driftwood, so it goes straight into your tank with zero preparation.
Anubias is a slow-growing plant native to West Africa. It thrives in low light and needs no CO2 supplementation, making it ideal for beginners and low-tech setups alike. The broad, dark green leaves provide excellent cover for shrimp, dwarf cichlids, and any fish that appreciate shelter. The driftwood itself adds natural structure and releases beneficial tannins into the water.
Each piece is individually selected and will vary in shape and size. Wood measures approximately 12–20cm.

I ordered it on Saturday and it arrived on Tuesday , which I think was very fast. (Considering post won’t arrive on a Sunday) the plant looks great, came in beautiful condition and seemed very well packed. The only small worry I had was I thought I spotted a worm in the driftwood, I contacted them about this and received a very fast and helpful reply informing me that the worm was completely non-predatory and to just pick it out if I ever see it. The customer service, quality of the product and the way it looks are all outstanding. Me and my shrimp love it!!

Sorry not a good choice. Got 3 leaves on a horrible piece of strange wood. Not up to AE standards. However it is now growing nice after I transplanted it.

Great, works well in the malawi tank with just a gravel and sand substrate. Growing well

I bought two of these (one for each of my tanks) and they look great. I soaked them for a day before putting them in and the water is still crystal clear - no staining at all. Very pleased with my purchase.

Nice plant- growing nicely
Do I need to plant Anubias in the substrate?
No — the rhizome is already attached to the driftwood. Just place the piece in your tank. Never bury the rhizome as this causes rot.
How much light does Anubias need?
Anubias is one of the most shade-tolerant plants in the hobby. Standard aquarium lighting is more than sufficient — no specialist lighting needed.
Does Anubias on driftwood need CO2?
No CO2 supplementation is required. Anubias does well in a simple low-tech setup with no additives.
Is Anubias safe for shrimp?
Yes, fully shrimp-safe. Shrimp love grazing on the biofilm that forms on the broad leaves, and the driftwood provides excellent shelter.
How fast does Anubias grow?
Anubias is a slow grower, typically producing one or two new leaves per month. This means very little trimming — it keeps its shape naturally.
