Compact & Hardy Aquatic Plant
The Anubias barteri var. nana (Bonsai) is a miniature variation of the popular Anubias nana, boasting small, thick, deep-green leaves and an ultra-compact growth pattern. This slow-growing plant is perfect for aquascapers seeking to create intricate layouts in nano tanks or add fine details to larger aquariums. Its hardiness and low-maintenance requirements make it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced hobbyists alike.
Unlike stem plants, Anubias Bonsai thrives when attached to hardscape elements like driftwood or rocks, making it a versatile addition to natural aquascapes.
Features We Love:
- Miniature Size: One of the smallest Anubias varieties, ideal for nano tanks and intricate aquascapes.
- Easy to Maintain: Extremely hardy and undemanding, thriving in low to moderate lighting.
- Versatile Placement: Can be attached to driftwood, stones, or placed in the substrate (rhizome above the soil).
- Great for Shrimp & Snails: Provides surface area for biofilm growth, benefiting shrimp and microfauna.
Care Guidelines:
- Light: Low to moderate.
- Temperature: 68° - 82°F (20° - 28°C).
- pH Range: 6.0 - 7.5.
- Growth Rate: Slow.
- Ideal Placement: Foreground or attached to hardscape.
Pro Tips:
- Do not bury the rhizome in the substrate, as this can cause it to rot. Attach it to driftwood or rocks instead.
- Avoid excessive lighting to prevent algae growth on its leaves.
- Great for low-tech tanks, as it does not require CO₂ supplementation.
- Compatible with most livestock, including shrimp, snails, and peaceful fish.
- Minimal pruning needed, making it a hassle-free addition to any aquascape.

Shipping Schedule for this service
Current Handling Time:
1-9 business days
Here at Aquatic Arts, we consider the welfare of the live animals we are shipping to be of the foremost importance. This process is much more involved than simply creating a shipping label and affixing it to a box. Depending on the order, it takes from 4 to 7 people to complete this process properly. We check the weather conditions here where they fly out of the Indianapolis UPS facility and the destination for each shipment. We start early each morning and go through a multi-step process to have the day's shipments prepared in time for the UPS pickup. The volume of orders in our system also affects the processing time. Therefore our stated handling time is 1-9 business days.
Shipping Rate
Pricing is by size of package needed to fill entire order and distance it must travel. It will be calculated at checkout.
