Description
The Mini Anubias Bonsai is a small piece of driftwood or root shaped to resemble a miniature bonsai tree, with Anubias nana growing from the rhizome to form the canopy. The compact leaves of Anubias nana suit this style particularly well, giving a convincing arboreal appearance at a scale appropriate for nano aquariums and shrimp tanks. It makes an effective focal point without overwhelming smaller set-ups.
Anubias nana is one of the most low-maintenance aquarium plants available. It grows in low light without CO2 injection and is tolerant of a wide range of water conditions. The plant is slow-growing, which is actually an advantage here — the bonsai form is largely self-maintaining and requires very little trimming to keep its shape.
The plant is pre-established on the driftwood so no further planting or attachment is needed — simply rinse and place in the aquarium. Sized for aquariums of 20 litres and upward, it is particularly effective in shrimp tanks and nano aquascapes where the small scale works with the inhabitants rather than against them. Shrimp love grazing the Anubias leaves and sheltering around the base.
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.

How big is the Mini Bonsai?
It is sized for nano aquariums — typically around 8–12 cm in height. Exact dimensions vary slightly between pieces as each is a natural item.
Does it need CO2 or special lighting?
No — Anubias nana grows in low light without CO2, making this ideal for low-tech nano tanks.
Will it keep its bonsai shape as it grows?
Yes — Anubias is slow-growing and the bonsai form is largely self-maintaining. Occasional trimming of larger outer leaves will keep the shape tidy.
Is it safe for shrimp?
Yes, it is one of the best products for shrimp tanks. Shrimp graze on the leaf surfaces and shelter around the base.
What size tank does it suit?
It works from 20 litres upward and is particularly effective in nano set-ups and shrimp aquariums where its small scale is in proportion with the tank and inhabitants.
